ALGIERS, Algeria
Tensions are escalating between Algeria and Mali over allegations of interference by Algiers in Mali’s internal affairs.
The rift was sparked by
comments from Algeria’s Foreign Minister, Ahmed Attaf, opposing Mali’s plans to
reclassify certain northern separatist groups, including signatories of the
2015 Algiers Agreement, as terrorist organizations.
Attaf emphasized that these
groups should remain key interlocutors in peace negotiations and insisted that
“a military solution is not the answer.”
Mali, however, perceives these
statements as an intrusion on its sovereignty, straining an already complex
relationship.
The two nations hold opposing
views on how to address the conflict in northern Mali, with Algeria advocating
dialogue and Mali increasingly favoring military action.
