V Brně, 15. 12. 2013 .................................................... Martin Bašta - 3 - Na tomto místě bych rád poděkoval doc. JUDr. PhDr. Miroslavu Marešovi, Ph.D. za cenné připomínky a odborné rady, kterými přispěl k vypracování této bakalářské práce. Dále bych chtěl poděkovat svým rodičům za to, že mi umožnili studium. - 4 - Anotace Bakalářská práce se zabývá analýzou militantní islamistické skupiny Ansar Dine působící v Mali. Ansar Dine dosud nebylo v česko-jazyčném prostředí významnějším způsobem popsáno. V teoretické části práce je pro konceptualizaci Ansar Dine použita typologie nestátních aktérů využívajících násilí od autorů S. Maira a P. Williamse s dílčí modifikací M. Janků a P. Zelenky. Tento konceptuální rámec byl zvolen za účelem vyjasnění pojmů, kterými bylo Ansar Dine zmatečně a mnohdy i nesprávně označováno. V druhé části práce je nejprve představen širší rámec vzniku a působení Ansar Dine v podobě kapitol o charakteristikách Mali a vzniku a průběhu malijského ozbrojeného konfliktu v letech 2012 a 2013. Poté jsou analyzovány jednotlivé aspekty skupiny Ansar Dine: organizace a struktura, vedení, taktika a výzbroj, ideologie a vazby Ansar Dine na jiné nestátní aktéry. V závěru práce je zhodnocen použitý konceptuální rámec. Klíčová slova: Ansar Dine, Mali, nestátní aktér, politické násilí, ozbrojený konflikt, islamismus, povstalectví, insurgency, terorismus, AQIM Annotation The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse the militant group Ansar Dine which is located in Mali. In Czech language, Ansar Dine has not previously been substantially assessed. In the theoretical part of the work there is introduced a typology of violent non-state actors from authors S. Mair and P. Williams with partial modification proposed by M. Janků and P. Zelenka. This conceptual framework was chosen mainly in pursue of clarification of terms Ansar Dine has been confusingly or mistakenly labelled with. In the second part of the thesis there is firstly introduced and described broader framework influencing creation and activity of Ansar Dine. There are two chapters dedicated to characteristics of Mali and origins and development of Malian armed conflict in 2012 and 2013. Subsequently there are analysed particular aspects of the group Ansar Dine: organization and structure, leadership, tactics and weaponry, ideology and relations of Ansar Dine to other non-state actors. The conceptual framework is evaluated in the conclusion.

Vznik a působení této skupiny jsou pevně spjaty s vypuknutím vnitrostátního ozbrojeného konfliktu v Mali probíhajícího v letech 2012 až 2013. Ansar Dine, jehož hlavním cílem bylo založení malijského státu na principu islámského práva šaría, hrálo v tomto konfliktu klíčovou úlohu. Přestože Ansar Dine pravděpodobně v žádném okamžiku své existence nepřesáhlo počet několika set případně několika málo tisíc příslušníků, byla tato skupina poměrně vážnou bezpečnostní hrozbou. Bezpečnostní hrozby a rizika představované touto skupinou vyplývaly především z vytvoření území pod kontrolou Ansar Dine, které se stalo útočištěm pro teroristické džihádistické organizace Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (dále jen AQIM) a Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (dále jen MOJWA) a další. Ansar Dine ani malijskému konfliktu obecně se s výjimkou zničení svatyň a památek ve městě Timbuktu zapsaných na seznamu UNESCO či excesivních případů vynucování práva šaría nedostalo výraznější mediální pozornosti, což je jedním z důvodů, proč bylo Ansar Dine zvoleno jako téma bakalářské práce. Druhým důvodem je absence českého odborného textu věnujícího se této skupině, což je další motivace, proč o vytvoření takového textu usilovat. Plný název skupiny v arabském jazyce je „Harakat Ansar al-Dine“ (BBC 2013g), v překladu Hnutí obránců či ochránců víry. Skupina je nicméně uváděna pod řadou drobně se lišících přepisů. Je možné se setkat s těmito: Ansar Eddine, Ansar al-Din, Ansar ul-Din, Ançar Dine, Ansar ed-Din, Ansar al Deen, Ansar al Dine a další. Odborník na islámský radikalismus Tomáš Raděj se vyslovil pro používání českého přepisu „Ansár ad-Dín“. Tento přepis dle jeho názoru správně reflektuje historický kontext vývoje slova Ansár coby „věrných napomahačů Proroka Mohameda“ a slova „ad-Dín„ tedy věrouky (Raděj 2013). Tento názor odborníka použijeme jako vodítko, avšak ve snaze o jazykové sjednocení této práce vynecháme člen „ad“ a budeme uvádět název skupiny v anglickém jazyce, skupinu tedy budeme nazývat Ansar Dine. Sjednocení přepisů v této práci je do jisté míry komplikovaným úkolem. Přestože se snažíme o maximální možné sjednocení jazyka, v praxi se toto ukazuje jako obtížné a jsme nuceni přistoupit k určitému kompromisu mezi anglickým a českým jazykem. Názvy a termíny, které se dají označit za ustálené v českém jazyce, jsou tak i uváděny. Jedná o některá vlastní jména (např. M. Kaddáfí). Termíny z oblasti islámu či islámské věrouky (např. šaría či džihád) se taktéž snažíme uvádět v českých přepisech stejně jako většinu geografických názvů. V tomto - 7 - ohledu je velice cennou pomůckou a vodítkem jedna z mála českých monografií o Mali od Petra Zídka. V ostatních případech jsou používány anglické přepisy, a to zejména u názvů osob a organizací. V práci jsou hojně používány zkratky, což taktéž přináší určité jazykové komplikace. Zkratky, které jsou ustáleny v česko-jazyčném prostředí, jsou také tak uváděny (např. OSN nebo RB OSN). Často jsou v práci používány i zkratky z anglických názvů (např. AQIM, UNESCO či ECOWAS). Zvláštním případem, což vyplývá z faktu, že Mali a další regionální země byly francouzskými koloniemi, jsou zkratky vycházející z francouzských jmen (např. MNLA). Ohledně používání těchto zkratek však panuje v anglicko-jazyčném prostředí jasný úzus a s tímto k nim přistupujeme i v této práci. Bakalářská práce má dva základní cíle. Prvním cílem je pokus o konceptualizaci skupiny Ansar Dine na základě teorie tzv. nestátních aktérů využívajících násilí. Druhým cílem je vytvoření případové studie Ansar Dine. Na základě vytyčených cílů jsme zvolili odpovídající strukturu práce. V první teoretické části práce je představen zvolený konceptuální rámec. Ve druhé části práce poté postupujeme od obecného ke specifickému. V prvních kapitolách usilujeme o poskytnutí širšího pohledu na skupinu Ansar Dine. Nejprve

By its resolution 2295 (2016), the Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) until 30 June 2017 and requested me to report on a quarterly basis on its implementation, focusing on progress in the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali and the efforts of MINUSMA to support it. II. Major political developments A. Implementation of the peace agreement 2. On 23 September, on the margins of the general debate of the seventy-first session of the General Assembly, I chaired, together with the President of Mali, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, a ministerial meeting aimed at mitigating the tensions that had arisen among the parties to the peace agreement between July and September, giving fresh impetus to the peace process and soliciting enhanced international support. Following the opening session, the event was co-chaired by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and African Integration of Mali, Abdoulaye Diop, and the Minister of State, Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Algeria, Ramtane Lamamra, together with the Under - Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations. In the Co-Chairs’ summary of the meeting, the parties were urged to fully and sincerely maintain their commitments under the agreement and encouraged to take specific steps to swiftly implement the agreement. Those efforts notwithstanding, progress in the implementation of the agreement remained slow. Amid renewed fighting between the Coordination des mouvements de l’Azawad (CMA) and the Platform coalition of armed groups, key provisions of the agreement, including the establishment of interim authorities and the launch of mixed patrols, were not put in place.

Crop planting was slightly delayed by localized late June rains, particularly in structurally-deficit southern Kayes and western Koulikoro. Increased trade with normal supply areas in the south and accelerated humanitarian assistance have considerably improved staple food availability in northern markets, though import flows from Algeria are still limited. Exceptions include localized pastoral areas such as Ber (Timbuktu) and Anefif (Kidal), where persistent security problems continue to delay the recovery of market activities.

  • Tuareg Nationalism and Cyclical Pattern of Rebellions
    Tuareg Nationalism and Cyclical Pattern of Rebellions: How the past and present explain each other Oumar Ba Working Paper No. 007 Sahel Research Group Working Paper No. 007 Tuareg Nationalism and Cyclical Pattern of Rebellions: How the past and present explain each other Oumar Ba March 2014 The Sahel Research Group, of the University of Florida’s Center for African Studies, is a collaborative effort to understand the political, social, economic, and cultural dynamics of the countries which comprise the West African Sahel. It focuses primarily on the six Francophone countries of the region—Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad—but also on in developments in neighboring countries, to the north and south, whose dy- namics frequently intersect with those of the Sahel. The Sahel Research Group brings together faculty and gradu- ate students from various disciplines at the University of Florida, in collaboration with colleagues from the region. Abstract: This article stresses the importance of history in understanding the cyclical pattern of Tuareg rebellions in Mali. I argue that history and narratives of bravery, resistance, and struggle are important in the discursive practice of Tuareg nationalism. This discourse materializes in the episodic rebellions against the Malian state. The cyclical pattern of the Tuareg rebellions is caused by institutional shortcomings such as the failure of the Malian state to follow through with the clauses that ended the previous rebellions. But, more importantly, the previous rebellions serve as historical and cultural markers for subsequent rebellions, which creates a cycle of mutually retrospective reinforcement mechanisms.

  • MALI Northern Takeover Internally Displaces at Least 118,000 People
    1 October 2012 MALI Northern takeover internally displaces at least 118,000 people Few could have predicted that Mali, long considered a beacon of democ- racy in West Africa, would in less than a year see half its territory overrun by Islamic militants and a tenth of its northern population internally dis- placed. Instability and insecurity result- ing from clashes between government forces and Tuareg separatists and pro- liferation of armed groups in northern Mali in the wake of a coup d’état have combined with a Sahel-wide food crisis to force some 393,000 Malians from their homes since January 2012, some 118,800 of whom are estimated to be Malians who fled the unrest in the northeastern city of Gao wait at a bus internally displaced. station in Bamako to return to Gao, September 2012. REUTERS/Adama Diarra Some 35,300 people are displaced across Mali’s vast three northern regions, living in town with host fami- lies or out in the open in makeshift shelters. Most of the 83,400 IDPs who have taken refuge in the south are staying with host families. Both IDPs and host families face severe shortages of food, access to health care and basic necessities. Many IDPs have lost their sources of livelihoods and children’s education has been severely jeopardised. The nascent government of national unity, which took power in August 2012 after prolonged instability, has taken some steps to respond to health, nutrition and education needs but serious concerns remain for the vast majority of the displaced who still lack access to basic services.
