Mongi Convinced CMA Will Sign Peace Agreement – Malian Crisis

Mongi Hamdi

Algiers — Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Mali, Chief of Minusma, Mongi Hamdi said on Monday he convicted that “reason would prevail” so that the other party of the Coordination of Movements of Azawad (CMA) can sign “without delay” the peace and reconciliation agreement, following the Algiers process.

“We hope that reason will prevail so that the CMA can ultimately sign the peace agreement and reconciliation, as soon as possible, to restore peace and stability in Mali,” said Mongi, at the end of the audience granted to him by Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Ramtane Lamamra.

The peace and reconciliation agreement in Mali was signed on 15 May in Bamako by Malian parties to the dialogue for the settlement of the crisis in the north.

Mongi added that “there was no other choice than the logic of peace” for the definitive resolution of the crisis in Mali for the restoration of stability in that country and in the region.

The head of the Minusma hailed Algeria’s sustained efforts, including President of the Republic Abdelaziz Bouteflika, in the settlement of this crisis.

For his part, Lamamra said the challenge now lies in the signing of the agreement by the other party of the CMA and its concrete implementation on the ground.

“There is no alternative to peace in Mali and I think in the coming weeks, everyone will assume his responsibilities, to achieve our goal of peace and stability in this country,” he said.

As for the beginning of the implementation of the agreement before it is signed by the other component of the CMA, Lamamra said there was “no condition” to the beginning of the works of the monitoring committee of the agreement, stating that the agreement provides for a monthly meeting of this committee.

“In fact, the international mediation for the inter-Malian dialogue has appointed a group of experts who met in Bamako and began working,” he noted, adding that “by June 15, the committee will hold a formal meeting and will launch its works.
