Tuareg rebels this week claimed to have captured a camp belonging to Mali's armed forces in the north of the country, where clashes have been escalating since August. As the Malian army sends a convoy to fight back the rebels, experts are warning of an all-out war.
The Upper Council for Azawad Unity (CUA) said in a statement on social networks on Wednesday that the army camp at Taoussa, in the Gao region, was "under the control" of the rebels.
