Mali army, Tuareg armed groups head toward potentially decisive confrontation

A convoy of Malian troops and Russian fighters is heading towards the northern Tuareg stronghold of Kidal, amid a resumption of hostilities in the region. Security has deteriorated since thousands of UN peacekeepers left Mali, at the request of the military government, ahead of the closure of the mission in December.
