153 Club : Update on Libya / Mali
 

153 Club: News Update:

Werner Nöther has updated the 153 club with two bits of travel information. Both are from impeccable sources.

(1) The Tuareg in the Adrar des Iforhas say that the GRPS are still operating in the NE of Mali.

(2) Travel south of Waw an Namus in southern Libya is forbidden.The Professor on this trip was met with military patrols equipped with machine guns. The route south to the Tibesti is forbidden.

" The Tuareg in the Adrar des Iforhas say that the GRPS are still operating in the NE of Mali".
I think you mean GSPC .
NE of Mali : Does it means the Kidal's area is unsafe ?
RR.

Hi,
"operating" is quite vague and reports are contradictious.
Anyway, security in Northern Mali is not the best one, so travel there without a reliable guide is not recommanded.
Do some google research for GSPC and Mali and you will find lots of reports about them.
