Kidal,\u00a0Mali, Feb 11 – <\/em>Signatories to a shaky peace deal deemed vital for ending conflict in Mali met on Thursday in the northern city of Kidal, a former rebel bastion, an AFP journalist said.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city fell to Tuareg separatists in 2012, who captured much of the north of the Sahel state before jihadist groups commandeered their rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Islamist fighters have since expanded the conflict into central Mali as well as neighbouring Burkina Faso and Niger, killing thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to curb the fighting, Mali in 2015 signed an accord in Algiers with several rebel groups — a deal viewed as one of the country’s few options for escaping the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement, among other things, saw rebel militias start cooperating with the army, and provides for decentralising governance in the vast nation of 19 million people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But implementing the deal has been painfully slow: Malian troops only returned to Kidal last year, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, Algiers-accord signatories gathered in Kidal, in their first such meeting in the symbolic city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diplomats from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and Mali’s neighbour Algeria, also attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told attendees via videolink that the Kidal conference was evidence of a recent “positive dynamic” in tackling violence in the semi-arid Sahel region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting also comes ahead of a political summit in the Sahel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region’s former colonial power, France, the G5 Sahel — a military alliance comprising Burkina Faso, Chad, Mauritania, Niger and Mali — are due to meet in Chad on February 15 and 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
