The Monitoring Committee of the Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, on Thursday, held a meeting in Kidal to try to untangle this process.The moment is historic and the place symbolic. Kidal, this town in northern Mali is still controlled by the former rebels grouped together in a Coordination of the Azawad Movements (CMA) which signed with the Malian government in 2015, a peace agreement reached some time earlier in Algiers.
In this bastion of Tuareg nationalists, a meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the Peace Agreement resulting from the so-called Algiers process could not be organized in September 2019. But on February 11, the Malian State and its foreign partners, as well as the signatory parties to the famous agreement were able to discuss this consensual text meant to bring peace to Mali. This document provides, among other things, for the integration of ex-rebels into the defense and security forces and for greater autonomy for this region.
