The Malian crisis and the French presence. Colonialism in its new form

Abstract

The crises that a financial country has suffered from, whether on the political, economic or social level, are not new or different. They are like the rest of the African countries that live in an integrated system of corruption, ignorance and aspiration to the blind tradition of the other. Then the situation worsened, affected by the Arab Spring revolutions in North Africa, especially in its country, Libya, and the collapse of the regime of former President Muammar Al-Qadhafi as a result of its ties and support and linking to the financing of many armed movements in African countries, including Mali. Several armed movements that were embraced by the Gaddafi regime after the collapse of the Gaddafi regime in his crucible began to return to Mali, especially those belonging to the Tuareg tribes. The Tuareg tribes are endemic in northern Mali, Niger, western Libya, and southern Algeria, near Tamanrasset, Gant and Illizi. However, the situation was not limited to the Tuareg alone in the northern Mali region, but the armed movements multiplied, and the objectives of each differed, and the number became more complex.

Key words: colonialism, France, Mali state, war, Tuareg.
