Mali Military Withdraws from Base After Deadly Jihadist Attacks

Imagine soldiers in Mali are fighting bad guys linked to a group called Al-Qaeda.

These bad guys attacked an army base twice in a short time, killing many soldiers.

After the second attack, the soldiers left the base.

Some people think this means the army is weak.

The government says it was a smart move.

This is all part of a bigger problem of attacks by these bad guys in the area, which is making things dangerous.
