Kidal, the last hurdle in Mali
Three months and a half after the French intervention, the conflict in Sahelian country is still far from over

Mali's war is far from over. It's been three months and a half since the landing of the French troops, which began operation Serval to restore the territorial integrity of this country in two by the occupation of the north by armed groups. After that time, in the city of Kidal the flags of the Republic of Azawad waving everywhere with the approval of the French troops stationed a few meters. There, the Tuareg rebels of the National Liberation Movement of Azawad (MNLA) control access in constant tension with the Chadian soldiers occupying nearby military base. Meanwhile, in Bamako multiply there slogans for presidential elections in July. But how to hold an election as an important part of the country there is no sign of the Malian Army and the Administration?
Kidal has already become a headache, at the final hurdle of this war, in the stone in the shoe of French victory speech on the conflict in Mali. This region is the authentic Tuareg stronghold north. A little over a year, the March 30, 2012, the army was expelled from Kidal Malian after the two groups combined attack Tuareg rebels MNLA (lay) and members of Ansar Dine (radical Islamists orders Iyad Ag Ghali). After months of cohabitation, the latter were imposed on the former, although the sharia or Islamic law did not apply there as never Gao or Timbuktu. Neither amputations or stonings or corporal punishment.
However, the French intervention in Mali from January 10 and progression to the north of the country caused a change of scenery. On 28 January, the MNLA, who had been defeated in the military by jihadist bombing advantage to retake French Kidal. Tuareg rebels not only benefit from the weakness of the radicals, but were reinforced by the arrival of numerous items that had deserted from the ranks of Ansar Dine. A few hours later, French troops take the airfield Kidal and February 5 1,800 Chadian soldiers come to town. The common enemy is the terrorists from the North African branch of Al Qaeda and members of Ansar Dine Muyao and so Chadian, French and Tuareg begin to collaborate.
So far, the Malian Army has not been allowed to enter Kidal. The slogan is political and stems directly from Paris. In the rest of Mali's population torn between astonishment and indignation to check how the MNLA, the armed group that agreed with the jihadists to split the country in two and severe exactions and abuses committed in cities such as Gao, rampant in Kidal with permission of France and to dictate orders to appoint governor and even the issuance of identity cards project of the Republic of Azawad, a state that does not exist and has not been recognized by any country in the world. The overall satisfaction of Mali to France for their quick intervention to stop the spread of jihadism starts to turn into disappointment and discomfort for the gala with MNLA complacency.
The French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, was questioned for three weeks during his visit to Bamako regarding French inconsistency in Kidal. His answer, which asserted that the MNLA "will have quartered and deliver weapons at any given time" to become political party has satisfied almost nobody in Mali, especially after the French Army announced on arrival for more than two months that he intended to fight "to any armed group in northern Mali." The Phantom of the existence of a close link between Tuareg rebels and the Elysee reappears.
Regarding the proposal of disarmament and its conversion into a political party, the MNLA has reported this week that neither one thing nor the other. "The MNLA has learned from informed sources and matching projected Mali military attack our positions Anefis, Kidal and Menaka (...) inform the national and international public opinion that we will not hesitate at any time to time to react militarily" expressed the rebel movement in a statement. While the UN has just approved the deployment of a peace-keeping, the Minusma, with 12,600 troops, and the French have begun their withdrawal (500 of 4,000 troops have already left) after being beaten hard jihadist groups, Kidal things seem to go in another direction.
Until now, French forces deployed in Mali have had reason to rely on force Tuareg independence from his extensive knowledge of the terrain at the northern end of the country to contacts with terrorists when trying to locate the hostages held by Gauls AQIM and Muyao. However, the collaboration with the MNLA can turn against the French presence in Mali, whose army remains intact thirst for revenge against the MNLA and starts moving pointing Kidal tab. A battalion of Malian Red Berets, the elite corps of the Navy, is a month in Gao intended to go north. When France gives its green light.
