This is a collective article that gathered together eight scholars of Mali to try to shed light on fast-moving current events in Mali.
Abstract:
This is an exercise in contemporary history that aims to give a comprehensive background and analysis to the 2012 political crisis in Mali, generated by the start of a new Tuareg nationalist uprising against the state, complemented by a coordinated attack on the state by both international (AQIM) and local Jihadi–Salafi movements, leading to a coup d’état against the incumbent President Touré, and finally a political stalemate of great concern to the international community.
