Security vacuum in Kidal



Malian troops are absent in the town of Kidal, which was under al Qaeda control until the end of last winter. The area is patrolled by French and Chadian forces, who are scheduled to leave, and Tuareg rebels, who oppose the Malian government. Meanwhile, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb remains a persistent threat.
