Almost 100 soldiers freed from captivity in Mali

Almost 100 soldiers taken hostage in Mali by Al-Qaeda-linked fighters and Tuareg rebels have been freed in recent weeks, including Russian mercenaries. Bamako has publicly ruled out talks with groups it calls terrorists. But the releases suggest channels of communication remain open while fighting continues.

Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports.
