Ansar al-Din spokesman to surrender
2013-04-20
[MAGHAREBIA] A one-time front man for Malian Islamist group Ansar al-Din said Wednesday (April 17th) that he was ready to turn himself in.

Sanda Ould Bouamama told ANI that he was close to the border between Mali and Algeria and was going to surrender to Algerian authorities.

"I have walked more than 80 kilometres on foot to reach the Algerian border so that I can surrender to the Algerian army," he said. "Right now I'm close to the Algerian town of Bordj Badji Mokhtar, where I intend to turn myself in to the Algerian army."
