Next steps after Algeria-Mali ties
The visit of the Malian Prime Minister to Algeria is seen as a test of the seriousness of the reconciliation between the two countries and a sign of the beginning of a resolution to the crisis, which has started with the re-establishment of diplomatic relations and the reopening of their airspace. The roots of the disagreements trace back to late 2025, when Algeria shot down a Malian drone, but the deeper crisis stems from the military takeover in Mali in 2020, due to disputes over northern Mali and the Tuareg issue. Algeria had played the role of mediator in the 2015 peace agreement, but the Malian military council put an end to this agreement in 2024, accusing Algeria of interference, while Algeria affirms its role as a mediator. Ultimately, the visit of Maïga remains a crucial test for closing the unresolved issues between the two nations.
