“A rebel alliance in Mali said Tuesday it has freed a Spanish man who was kidnapped in southern Algeria last week. The Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), a coalition of separatist armed groups in Mali’s predominately Tuareg north, said on the social media platform X that it freed Spanish citizen Gilbert Navarro. ‘The former Spanish hostage, Mr. Navarro Giane Gilbert, has been released by the FLA and is in good health,’ said Mohamed Maouloud Ramaadan, spokesperson for the separatist movement.” (01/21/25)
