The last French hostage still held in the world, Sophie Pétronin, as well as Soumaïla Cissé, a major Malian politician, until then presumed in the hands of the jihadists, have been released, the Malian presidency announced Thursday. According to Wassim Nasr, a specialist in jihadist movements, among the prisoners released against the two hostages "there is a minority of jihadists and people involved directly or indirectly in the insurgency in Mali. The most important is the release of Soumaila Cissé, the Malian opponent. I imagine that Sophie Pétronin took advantage of this dynamic there ".
