Malian PM's visit to Algeria underlines need for mutual security goals
RFI reports that Mali's acting prime minister Abdoulaye Maïga has begun a two-day visit to Algeria after months of tension between the neighbours. Mutual security objectives are central to the talks. The wider significance lies in the Sahel's cross-border security environment, where cooperation between states remains critical for confronting armed groups and political fragmentation. The visit signals a possible recalibration of regional security ties.
