On July 10, 49 soldiers arriving in Mali from the Ivory Coast were arrested at the airport in Bamako, Mali\u2019s capital city. The soldiers were sent to the nation as security and logistics contractors working for the German branch of United Nations peacekeepers, according to <\/span>The Economist<\/span><\/a>. Malian authorities arrested the soldiers under the claim that they were mercenaries with a so-called \u201cdark purpose.\u201d Three female Ivorian soldiers have been released as a \u201chumanitarian gesture\u201d from Mali\u2019s military government, reports <\/span>The Washington Post<\/span><\/a>. Today, however, 46 of them are still detained, despite multiple calls from the Ivory Coast for their freedom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The arrest comes amidst a general decline in the situation in Mali following two military coups in 2020 and 2021. Currently, multiple radical Islamist groups with loose al-Qaeda and Islamic State affiliations are active in the nation, according to the Economist. <\/span>Human Rights Watch<\/span><\/a> reports that these groups have carried out multiple attacks against civilians in the region, killing many, including about 19 UN peacekeepers and up to 120 government security force members. Roughly 3,600 people have been killed in the country in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mali\u2019s current military government gained popularity among the populace by promising to push down these forces. However, despite the efforts of the government\u2019s counterterrorism operations and a UN peacekeeping mission, Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), Jihadist groups are still active in the northern regions of the nation. Because of this, the military government enlisted the help of the Wagner Group, a private Russian military group with ties to Vladimir Putin, according to <\/span>The New York Times<\/span><\/a>. The introduction of mercenaries into the conflict, as well as a lack of air coverage, has caused some participants in MINUSMA to withdraw their troops, including Sweden and Egypt, according to the Economist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In spite of the international criticism the nation has received, the leader of Mali\u2019s junta, Colonel Assimi Go\u00efta, was present at the nation\u2019s Independence Day celebration on Thursday, September 22. This was the first Independence Day celebration since French forces left the nation last year, reports <\/span>The Associated Press<\/span><\/a>. Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, the leader of neighboring Guinea\u2019s military, was also present at the parade. As world leaders gathered in New York City awaiting the commencement of the UN general assembly, Go\u00efta made a statement outlining his hopes for the future of Mali\u2019s foreign relations, claiming he wanted to strengthen Mali\u2019s relationships with other nations but maintained that the country will contour to uphold its own unilateral interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a> reports that the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) held a summit on September 22, two days before the commencement of the 77<\/span>th<\/span> United Nations General Assembly, in order to condemn this action, as well as the nation\u2019s use of \u2018blackmail\u2019 in negotiations with the Ivory Coast. Human Rights Watch reports that the nation has been expelled from the organization\u2019s decision-making bodies, as well as from the African Council, in light of the hostage crisis. Guinea was also strongly condemned at this summit, and the nation was sanctioned in reaction to the human rights abuses committed by its own military government. In light of the recent coups and ongoing violence by multiple actors in both Mali and Guinea, as well as in Burkina Faso, The Washington Post claims that experts fear a democratic backslide in Africa\u2019s Western Bloc. As UN missions in the region and various authorities struggle to bring stability to the region, hope for a peaceful future remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
