Malian authorities have terminated the 2015 Algiers peace agreement signed with former rebels in the northern region.

Bamako denounced several violations of the Algiers agreement, which no longer guarantees its applicability.

The Malian authorities now intend to give priority to inter-Malian dialogue and are calling on the international community to respect this decision.

Colonel Abdoulaye Maïga is a spokesman for the transitional government.
