"By them. 9 years after French troops were sent to Mali to fight Islamist militants, president Macron has withdrawn his forces, so what happens now? Joan Seagal is director of research for the African center for strategic studies at the national defense university in Washington, D.C., U.S., and he's been speaking to charmaine cozier for our program the inquiry. Is the thought that this could be turning into another Afghanistan after the U.S. troops left. These are far fetched idea. I don't think it is far fetched. That was always considered an unlikely scenario up until a few months ago. But as the security situation has continued to deteriorate, it's becoming more and more probable outcome. Just this year, we've seen nearly a dozen jihadist attacks within a 150 kilometers of Bamako. That was something we saw very rarely in previous years. Joseph L says when it comes to the outlook for Mali, there are three ways that things might go. The first scenario is more of the same where there's a continued deterioration of the security situation. And eventual deterioration and fragmentation of the state in Mali and the eventual teasing of control by the jihadist of Bamako. That could happen suddenly. And so I think that is a real prospect in the near to midterm future. Scenario two involves another change of leadership. Other military actors who see what's going on and haven't supported the coup, they stepped in and push out the junta and

There is a gardener there who, well, let's just say he was a gardener because after going through the classes for a year, he tested at a higher level and now he's a chauffeur. He's an embassy driver. I mean, it's life-changing. As you know, you probably have to raise your helping people with their English levels and it helps. So I've had some pushback and I'm really surprised, but before I should rewind and say, before I actually took positions, I had to unregister if that's a name, if that's a word. I had to unregister myself from the FS FRC and then it was a little better, but still, I would get an occasional nasty email saying, you know, what are you reaching out to me? I thought, well, goodness. Don't people want to help their Netflix? Yeah, and I know it's so hard to navigate that running in EFM business is because you're in a very unique circumstance. Like you said, being in a country and a diplomatic Visa, being associated with the foreign service, and you're trying to navigate that and I mean, it's rough because not only does you not necessarily get any support on figuring out how to do it legally, but then when you make a misstep, right?

"Can help you contact us at UBS dot com. Following a coup in 2020, the West African nation of Mali was meant to hold elections in February, but the military transitional government has now said the poll will only take place in December 2025. Angering not just malians, but the 15 state regional block, the economic community of West African states, or eco was. Well, joining me to discuss further is Paul mellie, who is associate fellow an expert on francophone Africa at chatham House. Paul, welcome to the program. I wonder if you can recap what's happened since 2020 during which time there's been not one but two coups. Well, basically, Molly's been in crisis for pretty much a decade now. So the government, the civilian government that was in place before, was democratically elected, but was struggling to overcome the continuing activity of jihadist terrorist groups in the north of the country. And quite a lot of intercommunal violence. But the government was also weighed down by accusations of corruption. And then in the first months of 2020, there were parliamentary elections and the government accused not so much of rigging the whole poll, but manipulating the results after it had suffered some heavy losses, particularly in Bamako, the capital. And there were a whole series of mass protests followed. And then a group of military officers in August 2020 staged a coup claiming that they were going to put Mali back on the rails of good governance, democracy. They wanted also they insisted to continue cooperating very closely with the international community. And that, in particular, means ECOWAS, the as it were West African equivalents of the European Union and the group of the G 5, the group of Sahel countries, some of them are members. In other words, the country's facing the same problems as Marty climate change, the risk of jihadist terrorism and so on with whom it has a military alliance. And at first the soldiers were very strong on this cooperative approach. And in negotiations with their COAS and agreement was reached on a transition to go back to civilian rule and restore democracy with elections in basically February and March of this year. But then the military at the soldiers at the heart of the coup became impatient. They were under a lot of pressure from ECOWAS to a set of a government that was civilian led, which they did do, but they became frustrated because they felt that the civilians were increasingly leading the show, if you like. And so colonel assimi goita, the coup leader, from August 2020 stage, this second puts to as it were established himself as the dominant figure and the soldiers of the dominant figures in May of last year, 2021. So it's a complicated saga, but what really has sort of come out of it is a reluctance of the military and their political supporters who tend to come from us really rather vocal nationalist wing, radical nationalist wing of Malian politics to comply with the conditions set by ECOWAS, which is universally backed by the UN, the African Union, the EU and everybody else has, if you like the legitimate voice of the international community. So that's been this sort of prolonged saga that led Mali gradually into a position of ever greater isolation than the military soldiers most recently in recent months decided to step up military cooperation with Russia, which of course upset France and the Europeans who have provided a lot of troops to help in the fight against the jihadists. And finally came this, the military organized a sort of consultation process over the political road map, claiming that the February deadline was too early, but no one was expecting them to set this election timetable of parliamentary elections in 2025 and at presidential election not until 2026. So why have they done that? That is the bit we don't quite know. And when I say that, of course, we don't know inside the sort of private mindset of the military and their political allies. But there's speculation that either this is an opening bargaining bed in that they know that that they always knew that 5 years transition would be completely unacceptable to ECOWAS. And that very quickly, they'll come down to 18 months, two years, one year. The other is that they basically fundamentally the people in charging Bamako don't really have any intention of returning to the old political system and giving up power. And within their own group, they may be divided because common sense would suggest that if you had they stuck to the original transition plan and then haggled for a small prolongation, if you like, the road was open for Mali to continue to enjoy a lot of international support and for the current transitional government led by the leader dominated really by the coulee that assimilator and his close coterie to perhaps be seen as people who had helped to stabilize Mali return it to some sort of more organized and less corrupt government. And then after they'd handed over power to a new elected civilian government in clean elections, that would have given them as it were a career path if you like to going into a national peacekeeping government jobs, African Union position, et cetera, et cetera. Now, we know, of course, that ica was has responded to this by slapping sanctions on Mali. But I wonder if this is also a test for eco was itself. In the last 18 months, there have been four coups in western Central Africa. Does the block need to show that it can and will protect democracy? Well, this is the challenge. And that's why, at a summit on Sunday, it could was imposed really very, very heavy sanctions. Essentially it's.

Speaking to the United Nations from Bamako in Mali and we are unfortunately, I should say really going to have to talk about darker subjects than the wonderful music you've just been playing. We're talking about the Sahel crisis, one of the world's fastest growing emergencies, and to raise awareness about this, you have composed, produced and co opted your fellow musicians into a wonderful music initiative, which is called the song for the Sahel.

It's very important. It's when I grow up. So it's my home. So when we hear about the Sahel and the displacement and the lifesaving assistance that's needed there, it seems to be getting worse and worse. We hear that this year alone almost 30 million people need that urgent critical assistance and protection, which is 5 million more than last year. So what is it that your song and your music is gonna bring to the table that international negotiations and military might can not? What was your inspiration for the song? For me, first, the music have big power, very big power. To touch every person, living there, the good people, the bad people, it's what you said, you know? The good one, bad people. The people like this side, what we're going to do, is for everybody these songs. It's not just for somebody it's not for its use for everybody.

How France can avoid a “forever war” in the Sahel
"In twenty thirteen fronts sent soldiers to marley to stop jihadist advance seven years later and more than five thousand troops are still there in the region and despite their intervention twenty twenty was the deadliest year since the crisis began in the region known as a suhel avast sweep of land south of the sahara. So what is going wrong with the strategy of the so-called g five the group of five suhel countries became a facile. Mali mauritania initia- and chad. And of course a fronts will tell us more. I'm joined by the journalist and researcher in west africa and the sahel region. Pull me good morning pool. Good to have you with us. Good morning just explained to us how we've got to this state of did crisis what i think. We have to distinguish two things back in two thousand thirteen The jihad is already taken over the north of mali and they were launching a fresh push southwards and they had got down as far as the capital. Bamako that would have threatened security instability right across africa so the initial french intervention which was actually sent by Emmanuel macron predecessor. Phosphor alone which remember him that that may give you a sense of how far back in time. This was that was an almost conventional military intervention and it ended the jihadist the towns across the mouth of molly and remove that immediate threat but as so often in these situations a conventional conflict benefit of fragmented into more widespread terrorism localized attacks and some general instability. And that is much much harder to tackle. And you can't do it just with military means and so there's been a huge effort over really substantial seven years now as you mentioned to try and bring stability to the region but it's it's particularly difficult because you don't just have a ideology ideological jihadism if you're like fighting a terrorist war against a perceived international influence against the secular nature nature of these west african states. But you also have That mixed up with all sorts of local tensions and grievances For example between groups who depend on animal hooding and people who have commas and this is in this region the suhel which is just south of the sahara so it subjected to climate change water land grazing or in short supply. Population is rising rapidly. But the jobs aren't there to keep pace so you've got all her social and economic factors as well and that that's what's made it such a difficult challenge to bring this crisis under control but probably the most intense. The most dangerous situation was in the second. Half of twenty and nineteen when an armed group in eastern mali cooled islamic group in the greatest sahara pledging affiliation to die ish in the middle east staged a series of really very very bloody attack saw malia ninja army garrisons and the french also suffered heavy losses. And after that in january of last year there was a sort of strategic rethinking if you like and the decision to focus the military effort on them and to try and get up a stronger development have heard an peacemaking effort in other parts of the region sent.

Replacing the church where we're baptizing a lot more males than females. Why is that you know. It's like tell us how you so successful. In baptizing men young men and older men and having them be active in the church so that we can learn from it and transported these ideas elsewhere. I said well. Actually the success is really a failure. Because we're not baptizing women because they can't read in west africa by and large you have to pass an entrance exam in order to be able to get into high school and families can't afford to send very many of their children to high school which is not paid for by the government. Typically you have to pay tuition to go to high school and so man learn how to read. Women often don't despite government slogans. So as i said you know this is really a problem. The problem is not successful bad days. The problem is results on a successful with women because they can't read and you know in our church if you can't read where always emphasizing read the scriptures read the manuals.

I've always I've been following me for several years. It's one of those organizations said. Does some very interesting political awareness campaigns in terms of voter registrations and civic engagement regarding the Latino Communities One thing Actor is going to do a town hall with Elizabeth Warren Speaking About Nevada. And he's GonNa do that on Monday. February seventeenth beyond the lookout for that. We'll probably probably Share it on Latino rebels but anyway here's a conversation that I had with Expert on Friday. He was in la. I was on the East Coast so here it is funny. Level Latino Rebels Radio. Hey actor thank you so much for being on the Tino rebels radio station coolio. Hey so listen I know here. We are again. Everyone suddenly discovering the Latino vote. I oh New Hampshire open now. We're going to Nevada and now we're going to other parts of the country where there's lots voters. It can be a little bit exhausting. Just want to get your take on all that on on on the current election cycle on politicians. And just in general. What's on your mind as as you head to Nevada and you focus on on this election cycle. Thank you remain on a meeting? You Open Line really context Isis what we have facing the US productivity that we have in the future suddenly all these politicians are paying attention to our community. I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow. And suddenly everybody wants to talk to us because we have the capacity to turn out Latinos but we have the responsibility to make sure that we hold them accountable because otherwise we're just gonNA see them every four years in. Were Never GonNa see the changes that we need in terms of the priorities for community so we need now that we analyze it from that perspective that we grab this political power in that we make sure that we use it. To keep of them accountable. So listen I've caught. What you've done with the video series that you do and you had you had star right and you had biden. Why was it important for you to to do that? Because I think those type of conversations are being shared in the community but they seem to get lost in the in the crush of all this political news so tell me about the importance of those videos. And what did you learn from them to contact? Julio and I want to be very clear about this because politicians are really good at Sweet Bell. Kino's in responding whatever we want to hear but the goal period is joining Denise really to to spend some good time with them and push them to get a specific commitments. So we're GONNA use this information connected to the field operations familiar Probably the strongest nations in the nation but regression GDP citizenships Them when I make sure that our community has all the possible information in education to be able to take serious decisions but by the time we have hopefully a new policy then that we can use this information that has been recorded in build campaigns around those promises for example in all of them you can see how specific we heard about the level of commitment that we we won on on. They should ballistic immigration for example. There is no single politician from anybody. The has been willing to spend the basic political capital to make it happen for those is critical to have this done in the first one hundred days in winded up but I see then that he sabi and that can get it done or Bamako got done in the one hundred days. You'll like he did it with you know any other issues. We have the nation that shows that the nation in both sides when having mediation reform we need a politician has the commitment to get it done in. Push it through the first one hundred days. And we're going to be accompanied surrounding shows like immigration in other priorities for the community. Right so what did you learn from those interviews that you didn't learn before? Was there anything where you kind of like politicians just saying the same things? What did you learn? I have questions that are very specific about commitments. For example I us all of them one of the problems that we have in our community. Julio is on the representation of Latinos in the most important space of power where the most underrepresented group when it comes to but at the end shall appointments to people in Congress who anything that means power so as them gave us on a specific commitment right now to put at least for Latino Latinas in the cabinet in for example in the in the interview with by USA said she got Hewlett from. He got upset. Yeah I saw that. He got a little bit. Like how dare you as that question? Not that I don't know what the what was going through his mind but I know what you're saying so he's very uncomfortable for them to specific commitments to basic install that is reflective of for democracy that is reflective of our population for example in the Biden. A conversation kills say for the first time Obama on on the rotations. Brian is the first time we hear the vice-president disagreeing with Obama literally on anything Infosys important to know. Are we going to have another Democratic president? That has an obsession with the politicians and the devastation of families. Or we can really use this information to keep the mobilisation amazing that. He's coming on the ground with so many organizations. Let's focus on the current election cycle because I am just fascinated to get your takes as a leader in as a civic leader as as you know in the organization that you do in the work that you guys have done in the past are Latinos invisible in this election cycle or do you think campaigns are. We started by saying you know here they come and you know. I'm going to Nevada and all of a sudden in the week before the caucus everyone wants to talk to me like you've seen this before it hit me more calm Lisa and throwing it always happens. What have you seen anything different? Well let's one element is up to us. Julio I've been working in I've been in in in doing national work on the field for for twenty years. I've been doing a lot of policy work in everytime I analyze or we do campaigns on any policy issue we are the ones suffering the biggest exclusion ican beyond Latino piles indication Gumby Hill that he can be criminal justice. It can be just immigration that we haven't got lethally nothing in the past five Joesbury basics it can be any issue either. Spending more time on Energie deals fighting for the basics. Quarter the crumbs the political power that with the service community in we fight Cited because if we would all the possibilities that we have community if we exercise political power. We need to make sure that everybody's single precedent that comes to the White House goes through Latino community in the has accountability to the Latino community. We need to make sure that we never ever allow racist misogynist the most destructive precedent in the history which is Donald trump that we never have a guy like this and we can make sure that we're doing that storm may sing. Julio Reina been all over the nation traveling because we office in six states fourteen of his bates and he's so beautiful to see Latinos and Latinas are actually in the front lines. Making this a better stronger McCready. Some very hopeful among the turnout hopeful. But I can see that that people are literally a a organizing communities is amazing the powerful stories that we see in the point that is a direct correlation between quality of life and the level of civic engagement. We have the quality. Boris schools the quality of for bars. The quality of everything that we see. So that's where we're doing. So that's the first point. Julio the second point is to fight the structural problems that we have in democracy to exclude Latinos and Latinas. He's a horrible democratic system just the basics of how he was created. You'll for white men in how we still exclude people of colored to have easy access to the democratic process for Boris oppression to just lack of investment in in our communities a when I was shadow. Finish a leg with some studies in in campaign sexually to look at money and all. Yeah I remember that I I. I've say more about that because I think that's part of the problem right. That's a big part of the problem. The reality is that democracy is extremely expensive. I can't tell you how much it goes to the restriction. A hug until you how much it goes to knock on doors. I can tell you how much everything has a price that in presidential election count goes from four billion to six billion depending on on on the yearning keeps getting more experienced. You you said with a B B A billion billion just want people to hear that billion anyway and guess what happens brother all that money goes to white communities and of course. Yeah in two. Were turning this conversation around and say you know what let's pressure on the candidates. How much money. They're spending in our communities to the border Knocking on doors really talking to people.

"The U._N.. Mission in Mali Minnesota is one of the toughest U._N.. Peacekeeping Operations in the world peacekeepers stationed there have sustained severe and regular casualties from the activities of armed groups in the north of the country and many civilians of born the brunt of instability which includes deadly into ethnic clashes the full commander of municipal is the Swedish General Dennis Yudin spoarer. He has an extensive background in international national peace operations notably in Bosnia Herzegovina Sudan and Afghanistan Ben Mailer from you. A news asked General Yoon spoarer to outline why the U._N.. Must maintain its presence in Mali first of all the U._N.. When Mission Imola is important not just from all not just for the region but it has implications for other parts of the world so it's a conflict that should do concern a lot of other countries and we see that manifest itself in the huge commitment <hes> in the force with some fifty five nations being dedicated to make a difference and second part is that is a very challenging mission that has <hes> threats that seldom come to to U._N.? Mission we have I._D.. Threats we have other ESA metric threats that makes it a difficult <hes> operation. It's serious in the sense that <hes> it defects population ocean at the end of the day the mall populations are the victims every day and in particular in the central region. We have a lot of attacks against civilians we see. The <hes> women receive children being attacked <hes> on on different <hes> in different locations and this is an environment that is unacceptable and we will do everything we can to to mitigate these threats. Somebody has described U._N.. Mission in Mali as probably the most dangerous peacekeeping mission in the world. What would you say to that? What is your view on that while I haven't found a comparison but it is <hes> <hes> it is a difficult mission and sadly we have had too many fatalities in the mission the way forward is to stay firm to stay proactive and to adjust to the threat environment and eh be unpredictable with regards to to these <hes> groups on groups that <hes> challenge security we will continue to do so we are determined and we are focused on our mandate? What is the greatest need for you who and the troops in Mali to be able to succeed against this violent forces in the country particularly in the north to make progress at the most important part for the country's a whole <hes> and also to ensure <unk> security is to to make sure that the government extend its authority throughout the country being pressed sent the providing social services including security that will be the best way to bring the country? Ah Back to peace and stability we will be there s a facilitator supporter but the government is too key actress for people who may not have the map of Mali. Can you describe how broad. Road how wide how big the country's because you mention govern presence in many parts is probably lacking describe how large and Iria covered in why that is challenged well. It's a large which country and <hes> it's some fourteen million people in the country comparing it to other countries <hes> in particular juror most of them would be divorced by by the size of the mall moving from Bamako grow up to the north where we have stationed take some three hours of flying and that's not at all at a very north of the country so it's a huge area to cover some parts of debt. Ah Danced in the central region southern part but in the north <hes> there are the people that live there are dispersed small villages and they are spread out throughout this vast area yeah. It's not just the U._N.. Peacekeeping mission that is active in Mali varies also the French counter-terrorism abrasion going on in Mali and we also have the G. Five Sahel joint force how how do you as force commander for the U._N.. Mission combined with all these other elements. Are there too many chiefs too many actors making things complicated how you manage well <hes> at the end of the day we all the have shared the same aspiration and bringing peace and security to molly we have different mandates and we have different reporting chains but on the ground we share this aspirational moving. Living things practically on the ground so I say with great determination that the corporation works very well be meet we discussed we exchange information on a daily basis on different operations. We will have to continue to do this even more in the future but I'm very pleased with a corporation that <hes> that we enjoy and it's a necessity to have different different <hes> missions because we have so different mandates the situation in Libya. A lot of people believe that is what has led down south to the deteriorating situation in Mali. How much is the situation in Mali affected by instability insecurity up north in leader aid? It's difficult to say to what extent but <hes> there is. <hes> correlation what happens in northern Africa Libya impacts <hes> molly as much as impacts the neighboring countries so molly and we will have to continue to monitor development there in order to better understand how security threats toward security will develop in the coming in coming months. If somebody's feeling hopeless thinking that the situation in Molly's just worse how would you as false command. Give them hope to tell them that you can see light at the end of the tunnel. What signs do you see? I see some very promising signs and I would like to emphasize the government's commitment now stepping forward realizing the urgency and the need.
