Subject Problems with implementing the Algiers Accord. Significance President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita (IBK) reshuffled his cabinet for the second time this year on September 24. Despite adding four extra posts, none of the new ministers represent armed groups in the north. Five months since signing the Algiers Accord with northern groups, implementation of the peace agreement has barely begun. Impacts There is a risk of attacks on army posts in the north and elsewhere. Aid organisations will remain vulnerable to attacks in the north of the country. Foreign investment in the mining sector will stay subdued. The Bamako government will seek to sustain international and regional confidence in the Accord.
