In this photo taken on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017, Malian troops join with former rebels during a joint patrol in Gao, Mali. Malian soldiers and former Tuareg rebels have staged their first joint patrol in northern Mali, a key step in a 2015 peace agreement meant to help calm a region under threat from multiple extremist and other armed groups.
