The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged Mali's ruling Junta to "accelerate" the pace of returning power to elected civilians by early 2024 as it has pledged to do. Malian government officials have assured the UN Secretary-General that they are "committed and available" for the "diligent" implementation of the 2015 Algiers agreement. However, the junta is at loggerheads with the Tuareg groups that are signatories to the agreement and the security situation remains "precarious."
