In Mali, the struggle for influence within Touareg communities continues to intensify, particularly over the strategically vital city of Kidal. A significant point of contention has emerged between prominent leaders El Hadj Ag Gamou and Alghabass Ag Intallah, whose factions are locked in a fierce contest for regional dominance. On May 4, 2026, both figures were observed at the Kidal roundabout, flanked by fighters from the Front de Libération de l’Azawad (FLA), underscoring the ongoing tensions and the critical importance of Kidal as a flashpoint in the north Malian landscape.
