Relations between Algeria and Mali thaw after year-long rift over drone

After a year of tension caused by the downing of a Malian drone, Algeria and Mali have taken significant steps to mend their relations. The countries have reopened their airspace and reinstated their ambassadors, signaling a thaw in diplomatic ties. This move is crucial as both nations rely on strong bilateral relations for trade and regional security cooperation. The resolution of this rift not only benefits the two countries but also contributes to stability in West Africa, where both play important roles.
