An armed group in Mali that signed a major peace deal in 2015 said this week it was pulling out of efforts to draft a new constitution.
The new constitution is a key part of a peace and reconciliation process designed to return the country from military to civilian rule by March 2024.
In a statement seen by AFP on Saturday, the CMA pointed out that it — and almost all the other armed groups that signed the peace deal — had in December suspended participation in the peace process because of the junta’s “lack of political will to uphold it”.
