Mali: rebuilding a country from civil war

Absztrakt

Not for the very first time in its history, after the military coup and the rebellion in 2012, the situation of Mali has become uncertain. The country’s position on the Fragile States Index has gone through a major increase from the 76th place in 2011 to the 38th in 2013, and the 29th in 2016 out of a total of 178 countries. However, it was neither the coup nor the rebellion of the tribes that generated a crisis. Mali as part of the countries of the Sahel region had to face numerous challenges and these led to the outbreak of the crisis in 2012. Different peacekeeping missions of the European Union and the United Nations needed to deal with the root causes in order to stabilise the country and to bring long-term peace.
