In Breakthrough for Peace, Malian Rebels Sign Accord | UN Dispatch: "June 20, 2015, will go down as a milestone in Mali’s history. Following months of negotiations in Algeria, a first – failed – attempt at signing the peace agreement between the Malian government and the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA), and long weeks of back-and-forth between the government, the rebels and negotiators – including some set-backs which almost made the agreement impossible – the historic peace agreement was signed in Bamako on Saturday June 20. The peace agreement marks the beginning of a period of political and social reconstruction in Mali – many questions and issues remain, but the stage has been set for a more pacified Mali to flourish."
