Crisis in Mali: Tebboune Reaffirms Algerian Non-Interference and Reaches Out to Goïta

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune reaffirmed Algeria's stance on the Malian crisis, offering mediation if Bamako requests it. He distinguished the head of the Malian transition, Assimi Goïta, from his entourage, blaming some government members for the tensions. Mali officially left the Joint Operational Staff Committee and denounced the Algiers Agreement, worsening bilateral relations.
