Mali in conflict

The situation in Mali continues to be unsustainable as neither of the parts want to give up their conditions. Ibrahim ag Mohammad Assaleh, member of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (NMLA), says that the government will have to take into consideration the separatist organisation if they want to re-establish the control all over the country. As part of the tuareg community, they have been fighting in wars for more than half a century, and will continue until the situation changes. 
The international support is essential and appreciated by NMLA provided that they fight against the terrorists attacks. France is obviously one of the most involved countries in the conflict. However, the European country is preparing its departure from Mali in virtue of the UN peace troops.  

UN has just revealed that they have got evidence that Mali army planned and carried out violent acts as revenge after France entered in the country. The victims could have been tuaregs, peul and arabs as they are generally considered as supporters of the separatists.  The justice minister, Malick Coulibaly, has said during a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council that these violent episodes are only isolated cases. 

However, a war is devastating and the consequences for the country are always long-lasting. For example. UNICEF states that around 200,000 children in the African country do not have access to education. Going to school is something that here, in the “developed” countries, may be considered as something normal, or even boring. But for Mali children is an opportunity to succeed in the future and help their community develop. Moreover, since the Putsch on March 2012 help coming from foreign countries has diminished.  

The future and stability of Mali depends on the peace coming soon to its streets.
