アンサール・アッ＝ディーン
Both MNLA and Ansar Dine flags were reported around the city, leading to conflicting reports of which group was in control. The "Associated Press" reported accounts of a refugee that "signs of disunity" had begun to appear between the MNLA and Ansar Dine, including the removal of MNLA flags from Kidal. Of the city's two military camps, the MNLA took control of Camp 1, the Malian Army's former operational centre against the rebellion, while Ansar Dine took control of Camp 2.
