Mali: les jihadistes abandonnent leurs bastions du nord, prennent une localité de l'Ouest - Le Nouvel Observateur

Quote:
les jihadistes ont abandonné leurs fiefs dans le nord du Mali, telle la ville de Gao, soumise à d'intenses bombardements par des avions Rafale dimanche, qui ont tué plus d'une soixantaine de combattants, selon des habitants et une source sécuritaire.

"Nous sommes libres. On n'a pas vu aujourd'hui un seul moujahidine ici. Ils ont quitté la ville et les chefs sont cachés", a assuré un habitant de Gao joint par téléphone. "Les moujahidine ont peur"

The Islamists have abandoned their fiefs in the north of Mali, such as the town of Gao, under the pressure of intense aerial bombadment which has killed at least sixty of their combatants, according to locals and a source in the security forces. "We are free. No one has seen a single Islamist here. They have left the town and their leaders are in hiding", said a local in Gao reached by telephone. "The Islamists are afraid".
Forward, Sons of the Fatherland - the day of glory is here!
Tyranny is ranged against us, the bloody banners are raised high!
Throughout the country you hear the roar of the ferocious enemy,
Who have come to kill your sons and your comrades!

To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions!
March, march
So that an impure blood
Will water our soil!

That's good news. I actually understood everything except "Rafale" and "peur". Oh and the air strike was on Sunday (dimanche). And apparently, Rafale is the name of the French bomber planes. says Wiki*.
