๐ฒ๐ฑ In Mali ex-CMA rebels say they are โin wartimeโ with the junta
Tuareg rebels of northern Mali said on Monday they were "in times of war" with the junta in power in Bamako.
In this press release entitled "communication in times of war" and authenticated by a spokesperson, the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA), an alliance of predominantly Tuareg groups called on "all inhabitants of Azawad to go to the field to contribute to the war effort with the aim of defending and protecting the homeland, and thus regaining control of the entire Azawadian national territory" .
Azawad is a name of Tuareg origin for northern Mali. Tensions have continued to grow for months between the CMA and the junta, raising fears of the end of the so-called Algiers peace agreement and the resumption of hostilities initiated in 2012 and ended in 2015.

๐ต๐ช๐บ๐ธ Peru and US strike $20 mln Amazon-focused debt for nature deal
The United States has struck a deal with Peru that will help the Latin American country restore and protect some of its parts of the Amazon rainforest. The agreements will reduce Peru's debt payments to the United States by over $20 million over the next 13 years.
The debt-for-nature swap, as these kinds of agreements are known will put money towards conserving protected areas of the Amazon.
It is made possible through contributions of $15 million by the U.S. government under the Tropical Forest and Coral Reef Conservation Act and a combined donation of $3 million from four international non-governmental organizations.
This is the third debt-for-nature swap between the United States and Peru and took around two years to finalize. According to the Treasury, the first two swaps occurred in 2002 and 2008 and together generated about $36 million for the restoration and conservation.

๐ป๐บ๐ต๐ฌ๐ธ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐บ๐จ๐ณ Sato Kilman was voted in as prime minister of Vanuatu after the Supreme Court upheld a vote of no confidence ousted former PM Ishmael Kalsakau.
Kilman has already flagged a review of the security agreement with Australia signed by Kalsakau. Now deputy prime minister Bob Loughman, as opposition leader in May, had cited the agreement as undermining Vanuatu's sovereignty and a major reason for removing Kalsakau from power. Vanuatu had further upset Australia by requesting Chinese police support during the recent political crisis.
Australia also faces a review of the security agreement with Papua New Guinea, with PNG PM James Marape concerned the agreement impinged on PNG's sovereignty.
Likewise, Australia's security relations with the Solomon Islands remain strained over the Solomon's agreements with Beijing, including Chinese police assisting with upcoming Pacific Games preparations.
