WPR Article | Northern Stalemate Opens Space for Islam in Mali's Politics: "Can the government defeat the Islamists? The Malian press (French) reported over the weekend that the army is preparing a northward push. Yet those who doubt Mali’s capacity to retake the north by force argue that its troops lack sufficient numbers, training and equipment.
Regional powers are keen to resolve the crisis. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has conducted negotiations with northern rebels. And Mali’s neighbors Mauritania and Algeria, though not members of ECOWAS, are also potential parties to mediation efforts in northern Mali."
