Mali Reportedly Commits to Implement National Reconciliation Program After Ending Rebel Agreement

On Thursday, Mali's government terminated a peace accord with Tuareg insurgents. According to reports, the military authorities deemed it impossible to maintain the agreement in light of the non-compliance of other signatories to fulfill their responsibilities and due to the "hostile acts" committed by Algeria, the chief mediator.
Mali issued a decree on Friday to form a committee to organize national peace and reconciliation talks, the media reported.
This decision follows the termination of a 2015 peace
agreement with Tuareg separatist rebels.
Malian President Colonel Assimi Goita reportedly signed an order stating that the Steering Committee of the Inter-Malian Dialogue for Peace and National Reconciliation "is responsible for the preparation and organization" of this dialogue.
The new body will be composed of a president, a vice-president, a general rapporteur, a deputy general rapporteur and other members.
In addition, the decree specified the steps that the government
ought to undertake in order to prepare talks. There is no information on a timeline or what groups will be included in the dialog, though.
The decree reportedly stipulates that the president of the committee will direct, coordinate, and supervise the work of the Committee and provide updates to the nation's president.
Insurgency has plagued Mali since 2012, when
Tuareg militants took over significant swaths of territory in the north of the country.
The unrest in the region made it easier for terror to proliferate throughout the Sahel. Even after the rebels and Malian government reached a consensus in 2015, tensions in the area continued.
Earlier this week, Malian authorities ended the Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, also known as the Algiers Agreement. In turn, the
Algerian Foreign Ministry voiced deep concern over the decision, as it is "dangerous for Mali and for the entire region, which seeks to maintain peace and stability."
