An alliance of Tuareg and Arab rebel groups, pro-government armed groups and the Mali government have resumed their negotiations last week. They met with the monitoring committee of Algiers agreement, signed in 2015 after a gap of almost a year. The groups had discontinued the discussions about 11 months back.
Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ramtane Lamamra in a statement said that the discussions had been constructive and hoped that more progress will be achieved in the next meeting. Head of the Coordination of Azawad Movements, Attaye Ag Mohamed, sounded optimistic and observed that the government of Mali and the parties have once again reiterated the commitment to work for the full and consensual implementation of the peace and reconciliation agreement. The deal that aims to reintegrate 26,000 former rebels has been making very slow progress.
Mali has been in constant turmoil since its independence due to jihadist insurgencies in the north. Mali has also seen military coups in 2020 and 2021.
