No, no, no, and no. You're not going into northern Mali, and even if you were you'd definitely not be entering Algeria from there.
If you're going to be traveling in North Africa it'll pay to track current events, e.g., war, insurrection, civil unrest, ancient blood feuds..... Also worth paying attention to, for example, where you're allowed to go in Algeria with and without a guide, where in the Sahara and Sahel kidnapping is prevalent, and more like that.
When you've got all that settled, maybe start thinking about carnets.
Hope this is helpful.
