From Mali, CEOAFRICA.com gathered that the Tuareg Separatists have resolved to resume negotiation with the Malian government just over a week after they pulled out by accusing the government of not respecting the terms of a truce signed in June.

It was gathered that the three separatists groups which are; National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), the High Council for the Unity of Azawad (HCUA), and the Arab Movement of Azawad (MAA), signed a document which indicated their readiness to resume negotiation.

"We announce the end of the suspension of our participation."

The three groups said they would return to participation in a committee monitoring the implementation of the June agreement, including the disarmament and return of combatants to barracks and the release of prisoners.
 
Our source disclosed that MNLA Vice President Mahamadou Djeri Maiga, called for the postponement of legislative elections due on Nov. 24 because much of the population of northern Mali was still displaced in the wake of the conflict.
 
The Tuareg uprising in 2012 led to a military coup in Bamako and the occupation of the northern half of Mali by Islamist militants during the subsequent chaos.
  
The separatists' suspension of participation in the peace process on Sept. 26 was quickly followed by a grenade attack that wounded two soldiers in Kidal and two days of clashes between the military and MNLA rebels in the town. 

At their meeting with the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission to Mali, Bert Koenders, the separatists welcomed in their statement Keita's recent efforts to ensure implementation of the Ouagadougou accords.

President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita called off his official visit to France last week so as to attend to the uprise in the northern part of the country.
