Mali's government has called for the swift implementation of a peace agreement with Tuareg-led rebels during talks in Algeria. The agreement is seen as vital for preventing a resurgence of Islamist militant attacks in the vast West African nation. The two sides signed the United Nations-backed deal last year but the Tuareg-led coalition has complained that it falls short of their demands for their northern region. With ongoing attacks still taking place in the West African country, western powers now worry that any further stalling of the Mali peace accord will allow militants to regain ground.
