In early July, three European aid workers were released after being kidnapped from the Rabuni refugee camp, near Tindouf; however they were later released by their captives, who claim to be a rebel group, who are linked to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), known as the Movement for Oneness and Jihad (Mujao).

The Spanish foreign minister added that the region has been "converted into a platform for terrorism". In March, northern Mali was seized by Islamist rebels, belonging to the group Ansar Dine, and ethnic Tuareg separatist belonging to the secular National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad (MNLA). However since then, the alliance between the two groups has deteriorated, which resulted in the al-Qaeda linked Islamist group controlling three major cities in Mali’s north, which include: Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal.
