  • The Conflict's Complexity in Northern Mali Calls for Tailored Solutions
    Policy Note 1, 2015 By Ole Martin Gaasholt Who needs to reconcile with whom? The Conflict’s Complexity in Northern Mali Calls for Tailored Solutions PHOTO: MARC DEVILLE/GETTY IMAGES While negotiations are taking place in Algiers, some observers insist on the need for reconciliation between Northern Mali and the rest of the country and particularly between Tuareg and other Malians. But the Tuareg are a minority in Northern Mali and most of them did not support the rebels. So who needs to be reconciled with whom? And what economic solutions will counteract conflict? This Policy Note argues that not only exclusion underlies the conflict, but also a lack of economic opportunities. The important Tuareg component in most rebellions in Mali does not mean that all Tuareg participate or even support the rebellions. ll the rebellions in Northern Mali the peoples of Northern Mali, which they The Songhay opposed Tuareg and Arab have been initiated by Tuareg, typi- called Azawad, and not just of the Tuareg. rebels in the 1990s, whereas many of them cally from the Kidal region, whe- There has thus been a sequence of joined Islamists controlling Northern Mali in reA the first geographically circumscribed rebellions in Mali in which the Tuareg 2012.

  • Report of the Secretary-General on the Situation in Mali
    United Nations S/2016/1137 Security Council Distr.: General 30 December 2016 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Mali I. Introduction 1. 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.

  • In Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation Overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua Regions | March 2020
    Humanitarian situation monitoring (HSM) in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua regions | March 2020 Context Since the outbreak of violence in Mali in 2012, the border area between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso has been characterized by a climate of insecurity due to the presence of armed groups, crime and rising tensions between communities1. The security situation in Niger has deteriorated sharply since 2018 and has caused the internal displacement of 159,028 people in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions as of March 20202. In addition, the provision of humanitarian assistance is subject to multiple constraints resulting in limitations to access affected populations due to security, geographic and climatic factors, as well as to measures taken as part of the state of emergency covering parts of the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions1. Limited humanitarian access is one of the factors at the origin of important information gaps about the scope, nature and severity of needs. To fill these information gaps, REACH has been implementing a monitoring of the humanitarian situation, financed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) since January 2020, following a pilot phase in November 20193. This situation overview presents the main results for data collected in March 2020 in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions and analyzes the development of main indicators in the Tillabéri region between November 2019 and March 20204. Methodology This assessment adopts a so-called “Area of knowledge” methodology. The aim of this methodology is to collect, analyze and share up-to-date information regarding multi-sectoral humanitarian needs in the region, including in areas that are difficult to access.

APERCU DE L’ENVIRONNEMENT SECURITAIRE ET GION DE TILLABERI DE PROTECTION DANS LA REGION DE TILLABERI La région de Tillabéri a connu une instabilité très accentuée durant l’année 2018, du fait de l’insécurité dans les localités des différentes communes frontalières avec le Mali et le Burkina Faso, en proie aux 35,866 attaques des éléments des groupes armés non étatique.
