The human rights situation in Mali significantly deteriorated in 2023, as attacks against civilians by Islamist armed groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) and large-scale abusive counterterrorism operations by Malian armed forces and associated foreign fighters surged.
More than 390,000 people across Mali are internally displaced. Mali's central government, which assumed power through a coup in 2021, faces growing threats from nonstate armed groups. A 2015 peace agreement with armed groups in the northern region broke down in September 2023 following the withdrawal of the U.N. - Feb 8, 2024
The Mali War is an ongoing conflict that started in January
2012 between the northern and southern parts of Mali in Africa. On 16 January
2012, several
insurgent groups began fighting a campaign against the Malian government for
independence or greater autonomy for northern Mali, which they called
Azawad.
The Mali War in 2024 now includes Islamic Terrorist
Groups and co-operative political factions.
According
to IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM Mali), there are 391,961 internally displaced persons (IDPs)
in Mali as of April 2023. These IDPs are
mainly concentrated in the regions of Mopti (23%), Timbuktu (16%), Bandiagara
(14%), Menaka (12%),
72%
of Mali’s exports are Gold. Where are the gold mines of Mali? Southern
regions of Mali–Sikasso,
Koulikoro, and Kayes– are located in the
heart of the Sahel and produce most of Mali's gold.
