The l'Express feed is the AFP French feed. English news is the same source, translated by AFP. AFP's source is APS but its site (aps.dz) is taking a hammering right now.

It says now (AFP) that the aircrfat was a DC9 chartered from a Spanish company. (no name given)
I think there are no longer DC9s in the EU register , so either it is an MD80 or a local African company.

From a reliable source :

#AH5017 asked to deviate due to poor visibility and to maintain separation with another aircraft on Algiers-Bamako flight.

Aircraft at cruising level are not asked to deviate due bad visibility
Your reliable source is not so reliable.
There ARE reports of CB and TS activity in the area though.
