They do not necessarily represent the views of the World Development Report 2011 team, the World Bank and its affiliated organizations, or those of the Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent 1 The case study is founded upon secondary research; a mission to Mali from 2/7/10-2/20/10 that included Director Sarah Cliffe, Lead Specialist Stephen Ndegwa, and Lead Author Scott Straus; input from Malian researchers Bakary Traoré and Almamy Sylla; and assistance from the Malian World Bank Office.

Samatar (University of Minnesota). Mali and Its Sahelian Neighbors I. Introduction The nine Sahelian countries (Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal) are among the poorest in the world, with poverty rates of over 50%, and most are seriously conflict-prone. Among these, Mali (the focus of this study) and its immediate neighbors have faced enduring conflicts since independence; these have often been induced or exacerbated by responses to extreme climatic conditions (e.g. droughts of the 1970s), institutional instability following political transitions (particularly during the 1990s), and enduring difficulties in assuring delivery of basic governance functions (including territorial, protection, human and food security and core social services).

  • Old Homes and New Homelands: Imagining the Nation And
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Africa published by Cambridge University Press: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/africa Accepted version downloaded from soas research online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/26408 OLD HOMES AND NEW HOMELANDS: IMAGINING THE NATION AND REMEMBERING EXPULSION IN THE WAKE OF THE MALI FEDERATION’S COLLAPSE Brandon County and Marie Rodet Abstract: This paper examines concepts of ‘home’ and ‘abroad’ for migrants and citizens in the twilight of empire. It focuses on the ‘cheminots refoulés’, railroad workers with origins in the former Soudan (today’s Republic of Mali) who were expelled from Senegal shortly after both territories declared independence, and other ‘Soudanese’ settled in Senegal sometimes for several generations. Using newly available archives in France, Mali, and Senegal, and interviews with former cheminots and ‘Soudanese migrants’ on both sides of the border, this study seeks to historicize memories of autochthony and allochthony that have been constructed and contested in postcolonial nation-building projects. The Mali Federation carried the lingering memory of federalist political projects, but it proved untenable only months after the Federation’s June 1960 independence from France. When member states declared independence from each other, the internal boundary between Senegal and the Soudanese Republic became an international border between Senegal and the Republic of Mali. In the wake of the collapse, politicians in Bamako and Dakar clamoured to redefine the ‘nation’ and its ‘nationals’ through selective remembering. Thousands of cheminots and ‘Soudanese migrants’ who had moved to Senegal from Soudan years (and decades) earlier were suddenly labelled as ‘foreigners’ and ‘expatriates’ and faced two governments eager to see them ‘return’ to a hastily-proclaimed nation-state.

  • The Situation in Mali
    UFRGSMUN | UFRGS Model United Nations Journal UFRGSMUN | UFRGS Model United Nations Journal ISSN: 2318-3195 | v1, 2013| p.71-97 The Situation in Mali Willian Moraes Roberto Marília Bernardes Closs Giordano Bruno Antoniazzi Ronconi 1. Historical background 1.1. Th e origins of Mali: pre-colonial and colonial period Th e formation of Mali’s State blends itself with Western Africa history. Th e country’s genesis refers to the year 1235, when the battle of Kirina, won by the mandinga people against the Sosso – former conquerors of the region, served as the founder of the State (Maglia, Closs and Noronha 2013). Mali rose in the vacuum of power left by the fall of Gana’s empire, then hegemonic in Western Africa (Macedo 2013). It would turn itself into the regional hegemony, based on an extensive tributary system1 with Mali’s capital as the center (Ki-Zerbo 1972). Th ereaft er, Mali became the major military power and the most dynamic economy in the region, building a structure of power similar to an empire. Th e development of the civilization is deeply connected with Mali’s territorial position between the Niger and the Senegal rivers. A large group of ethnics formed Mali’s State, among them the Malinke group, the Fulani group, the Sonike group and the Tuareg2 people (Visentini 2012). Th e empire was the richest, the most powerful and had the greatest reserves of minerals (especially gold) below the Sahara desert (Diallo 2011), a region of dynamic commercial transaharian activities (Pergher and Tocchetto 2013). Th e civilization was deeply infl uenced by the Islam (Maglia, Closs and Noronha 2013).

  • DAKAR and BAMAKO SIMON KIBA Editor-In-Chief Of'afrique Nouvelle*, Dakar to This Day the Question of Why the Mali Federation Collapsed Is Being Debated
    92 DAKAR AND BAMAKO SIMON KIBA Editor-in-Chief of'Afrique Nouvelle*, Dakar To this day the question of why the Mali Federation collapsed is being debated. What we do not recognise, however, is that passions are still too high for the parties involved to be able to judge with impartiality. We continue to abuse each other, and to publish white papers to justify ourselves. But fully to under­ stand the causes of the collapse, we will have to wait on history. The Mali Federation was born on 17 January 19^9, with Senegal, Soudan, Upper Volta and Dahomey as members. But the last two States finally decided not to commit themselves to the Federation, and it is now known that their withdrawal was encouraged by the French Government and by the Prime Minister of the Ivory Coast. The Federation was accordingly established by the two remaining partners: Senegal and Soudan. They agreed readily enough to seek independence within the French-African Community; but that independence once granted, differences over the structure of the new State arose that proved virtually insoluble. Soudan wanted a unitary structure, with a presidential regime similar to that of the United States. Senegal wanted a parliamentary regime and a loose federation, leaving a large measure of autonomy to the constituent States. The main reason advanced by Senegal in support of its case was that other States would find it easier to join such a federation in the future. Soudan, on the other hand, felt that only a strong federation would have the means to develop harmoniously a country stretching from Gao to Dakar.
