Mali's junta-appointed government agrees with armed groups, with which the state signed a peace deal in 2015, to integrate 26,000 ex-combatants into the national army
Ex-combatants will be merged in"two tranches of 13,000" fighters, says junta-appointed government, a move billed to help restructure the national army and better represent northern Tuareg region.
Mali's junta-appointed government has agreed with armed groups, with which the state signed a peace deal in 2015, to integrate 26,000 ex-combatants into the national army, according to an official statement sent to the AFP news agency. The deal provides for a cantonment process for the ex-rebel fighters with a view to their integration into the civil service, including the armed forces, or to their "disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration" into civilian life.
The plan is to then progressively redeploy the army in major municipalities in the north in the form of mixed battalions made up of equal numbers of traditional soldiers, ex-rebel fighters and pro-government armed groups.Implementing all aspects of the Algiers agreement is considered a key step towards a way out of Mali's decade-long crisis.
