  • Mali's Prime Minister Boubou Cisse arrived in the northern town of Kidal on Wednesday, AFP reporters said, making a highly symbolic visit three weeks after the army returned to the former rebel-held bastion. His arrival in the town, which had become emblematic of the government's failure to control large swathes of the country, is hoped to signal that the government is reasserting authority over its vast territory. Before their return last month, Malian soldiers had not set foot in Kidal since 2014 after suffering a bitter defeat at the hands of separatist Tuareg rebels. After their defeat, the city fell under the control of the Coordination of Movements of Azawad (CMA), a mostly Tuareg alliance of armed rebel groups. Cisse was welcomed in Kidal by representatives of the group, as well as local officials and members of the UN's MINUSMA mission, AFP reporters said. The Tuareg rebels signed a peace agreement with the government in 2015, although the accord was fragile and the issue of Kidal especially sensitive. Negotiating the specifics of returning to Kidal took years, and a deal on how it would work was only reached earlier this year. Under the agreement, the military units that returned to Kidal include former rebels, a gesture intended to set an example of reconciliation in the region. Cisse will meet with some of the recently returned troops during his two-day trip. sd-lal/siu/dl/jj
