The TV in the little airport shop shows footage of Soumailou Maiga, the Premier Minister from his visit to Kidal yesterday. This visit is symbolic for the unity of Mali and for the peace process I suppose, although some Malians like Guida thinks the visit has cost too much in negotiation and compromise to even put in place. There were joyful and festive scenes in Kidal where he seems to have been well received in sharp contrast to what happened when Moussa Mara attempted to do the same in 2014, ( was it? )and all hell broke lose...
Maiga is now in Gao and at 16.00 he is due in Timbuktu, which now explains all those Tuareg dignitaries at the Hotel.. .
