Reactions of the political class after the Malian army’s takeover of Kidal
– A curfew throughout the region for a period of 30 days, subject to renewal
The Malian army and its allies from the Wagner Group now control the airport and military camps in Kidal, and their armored vehicles patrol the neighbourhoods. In an official letter dated the evening of Tuesday, November 14, the Director General of the National Police summoned the police for the upcoming deployment.
Today, the governor of Kidal announced a curfew throughout the region, starting this evening, Wednesday, from eight in the evening until six in the morning, for a period of 30 days, subject to renewal.
According to our information, the CSP rebels are located about sixty kilometers away, not far from the road leading to Algeria. They say it is a tactical withdrawal after days of fighting to try to stop the advance of the Malian armed forces. The rebellion vowed that its “struggle will continue.”
Kidal’s recovery was celebrated in several cities across the country, including Kati, where a crowd of people gathered in the evening in front of the residence of Colonel Sadio Camara, the current Defense Minister.
This victory raises questions about any attempt to implement the Algiers Peace Agreement signed in 2015, which stipulated the division of Mali while granting semi-autonomy to Kidal.
