What would overturn it

An on-record confirmation from either government before September 12 would overturn this; backchannel mediation of this kind is typically left unacknowledged even when reported by third parties like Le Monde.

As logged at issue

We think it's likely neither Mali nor Morocco formally confirms Rabat's mediation role in the Vézilier release within 30 days, consistent with how backchannel diplomacy of this kind usually stays unacknowledged — an on-record confirmation from either government would be the signal this is becoming a repeatable channel rather than a quiet one-off.
