双语新闻：法国军队开进马里叛军最后堡垒 French Troops Enter Last Mali Rebel Stronghold

30 January, 2013

法国军队已经部署在马里北部城市基达尔。收复加奥和廷巴克图的行动结束后，基达尔成为反政府武装的最后一个重要堡垒。

法国军方官员星期三说，法国军队夜间完成了部署，继续进行一星期来的收复马里北部主要城市的行动。

世俗的图阿雷格反政府武装马里北方图阿雷格运动(MNLA)本星期早些时候说，该组织的战斗人员控制了基达尔。

去年3月政变后，图阿雷格反政府武装分子与伊斯兰激进分子一道夺取马里北部地区。随后双方由于实施伊斯兰法规问题而分裂，伊斯兰激进分子宣称控制了该地区。

星期二，法国和马里军队在廷巴克图和加奥进行挨家挨户的搜查，收缴逃离的伊斯兰激进分子留下的武器和炸药。在加奥，至少五名涉嫌与伊斯兰激进分子合作的人被逮捕。

在廷巴克图的居民抢劫涉嫌与伊斯兰激进分子合作的阿拉伯人和图阿雷格人开的店铺。本星期早些时候，伊斯兰激进分子逃离廷巴克图。

French troops have deployed in the northern Malian city of Kidal, the last major rebel stronghold remaining after operations to retake control in Gaoand Timbuktu.

French military officials said Wednesday the troops deployed overnight, continuing a week-long push to recapture the main cities in northern Mali.

The secular Tuareg rebel group MNLA said, earlier this week, its fighters had taken control of Kidal.

The Tuareg rebels joined with Islamist militants to seize northern Mali following a March coup. The two groups later split in a dispute about Sharia law and the Islamists asserted control of the region.

French and Malian troops searched houses in Timbuktu and Gao on Tuesday, recovering weapons and explosives left by fleeing Islamists. At least five people suspected of collaborating with the militants were detained in Gao.

In Timbuktu, residents looted stores owned by Arabs and Tuaregs suspected of working with the militants, who left earlier this week.
