Bamako (AFP) - Armed rebels who humiliated Mali's army in a deadly offensive across the northern desert agreed to a ceasefire on Friday after talks with African Union chairman Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, a diplomatic source said.
Abdel Aziz "just obtained a ceasefire here in Kidal from representatives of the three armed groups he was meeting... Through this ceasefire, the groups undertake to stop fighting and stay where they are," the source told AFP by telephone from Kidal.
