On Sunday Malians will vote for a second time to decide who should lead the country out of turmoil.
Mali’s government and Tuareg rebels led by Ibrahim Ag Bahanga, whose men have kidnapped 33 army troops, agreed to an immediate truce during Libyan-brokered peace talks, a Libyan diplomat said on Thursday. ”Malian government and rebel envoys accepted a ceasefire on the ground from Thursday,” said the diplomat.
