Malians appear divided over the military junta’s loud call for UN peacekeepers to immediately leave the west African country in the throes of a jihadist insurgency.
Mali’s military has increasingly imposed operational restrictions on the peacekeepers and also broken a longstanding alliance with former colonial power France. “MINUSMA seems to have become part of the problem by fuelling community tensions exacerbated by extremely serious allegations which are highly detrimental to peace, reconciliation and national cohesion in Mali,” Diop said.Mohamed Diallo, another Bamako resident echoed the anti-MINUSMA feeling.
“MINUSMA ensure the logistics for towns, it kept the access open and avoided the situation facing places in north Burkina Faso which are under a state of siege,” from jihadists, said Jean Herve Jezequel, head of the Sahel Project for conflict resolution organisation Crisis Group. There are also fears for the future of the key 2015 peace agreement between the government and former rebel groups in the north.
