BAMAKO: France called for peace talks between Mali’s government and “legitimate representatives” from the north, after French troops took up positions at Kidal, the last city held by Islamist forces.
“This political process now has to advance concretely,” French foreign ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot said Wednesday.
He called for talks with the legitimate representatives of the northern peoples and “non-terrorist armed groups” that recognise the integrity of Mali.
