Mali Political Instability

More about the book

Mali's political instability is exacerbated by its northern regions, which have become focal points for foreign influence from neighboring countries like Libya and Algeria. The Malian government's failure to maintain control in these areas has led to increased foreign interference and a sense of impunity, particularly following Amadou Toumani Touré's decision to cede sovereignty. Additionally, fragmentation among northern communities has provided external powers with opportunities to assert their interests, further fueling local instability and tensions between the north and south of Mali.
