Mali: Funeral of Defense Minister Sadio Camara Scheduled for Thursday

The funeral of General Sadio Camara, Mali's Defense Minister, is scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m., according to a military source. Camara, 47, was killed on April 25 during an attack in Kati, near Bamako, by a suicide bomber using a car bomb. His death comes amid heightened security tensions, with jihadist groups attacking government forces, and the government has declared two days of national mourning.
