The 2015 Algiers Accord was a peace agreement reached between the Malian government and Tuareg rebels to address the ongoing conflict in the northern part of the country.12

The accord sought to achieve stability through several key provisions:
* Devolution of power: It included measures to decentralize and devolve administrative authority to the northern regions.12
* Disarmament and integration: The agreement mandated the disarmament of rebel groups, with provisions for some former rebels to be integrated into Mali’s national military and security forces.12

Although the accord was intended to foster peace, the security situation in northern Mali remained volatile, and the Malian military junta ultimately announced the termination of the agreement in January 2024.34
