Mali: governor returns to town of Kidal


In Mali, Adama Kamissoko, the governor of the Malian town of Kidal, returned yesterday (Thursday 11th)  to his city and regained his position, after more than a yearlong absence. Ahead of the crucial nationwide elections to be held on July 28th, Malians expect a lot on this move but Adama Kamissoko's reinstatement comes at a time of violent protests in the northeastern rebel stronghold.


In a interview today, I asked IIED (International Institute for Environment and Development) director Camilla Toulmin if the reinstallation of the governor can be enough to start the organisation of the electoral process in the rebellious town.

The interview will be on air tomorrow, Friday, on RFI English. You can catch it here:
