Since late January, nearly 160,000 Malians have fled their country for camps in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Niger. While instability persists in Mali, leaving little hope that the refugees can return to their country soon, another imminent threat is looming: the rainy season, which will further complicate the deployment of aid.
Between Algeria to the north and Niger to the east is the landlocked West African nation of Mali. Once ruled by France, Mali achieved independence in 1960. This independence came at a price, though, as a dictatorship held power for over three decades until a 1991 military coup. Yet from this political rubble has emerged one of the most stable democracies in Africa. Despite representing multiple ethnic groups of differing languages and histories, Mali has enjoyed peaceful relations among its people. Fishing in the Niger and Senegal rivers has provided a stable economy that also helps feed a developing agricultural economy.
However, Mali is one of the twenty-five poorest countries in the world. With no coastline, Mali is dependent on agricultural exports and gold mining for revenue. The harsh Sahara desert in the north causes frequent droughts, damaging the delicate farming industry that is still struggling to develop. Attempts have been made to grow tourism, but security issues continue to hinder these efforts. Mali also has one of the world's highest rates of infant mortality, with 106 deaths per 1,000 births. Almost half of the entire population is under the age of fifteen. Mali is also a source, transit, and destination area for men, women, and children who are subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Women and young girls are placed in domestic servitude as well as sold for sex. Young boys are forced to work in gold mines and the agricultural sector. Forced begging is a current issue that has yet to be addressed properly by the government.
Yet, despite the struggles and poverty, God is still there. The church, though still small, has taken root in the cultures and hearts of the Malian people. Eighty-seven percent of the population is Muslim, though the Islam practiced is moderate and tolerant. Multiple other indigenous animist beliefs are also practiced by 10% of the population, with the last 3% being the growing Christian population. Every year, the number of Christians is doubling. Due to the extreme poverty, Mali depends on the foreign aid of Libya and Saudi Arabia, who fund Malian schools which are based on Qur'anic beliefs. Most churches are combining outreach with the relief aid that is so desperately needed. Sixty percent of Malians are unreached, but there is hope in the small but fervent church that is taking shape. God's hope is prevailing.

After Islamist militants seized a gas plant in the Algerian desert on Wednesday, reports now say that some of the foreign hostages held have been killed. The Algerian authorities have yet to release official casualty figures.
The gas facility was seized after France sent troops last week to combat Islamist insurgents in neighboring Mali.
EU Foreign Ministers, who where holding a snap meeting in Brussels to discuss the Malian conflict, refused to comment. Only the Malian Foreign policy minister told reporters in Brussels that he believes there is a link between the Malian rebels and Algerian militants.
"For the last few years we have seen many hostages taken and this just proves that is an obscure jihadist forces that paddle with drug trafficking have permeated a whole region and I think that really shows what their true nature is", said Malian Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Tiéman Coulibaly.
Meanwhile, EU Foreign ministers agreed on Thursday to speed up the deployment of the EU military training mission to Mali.
"We agree to establish a EU mission to train and advice Malian arm forces and we appointed a French brigadier, François Lecointre as a Mission Commander. The first technical team for this mission will start preparatory work in Mali in the coming few days. We agree to accelerate our work to support the African military mission to Mali and we are offering financial support to it trough the African peace facility", said EU Foreign Policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Last week France sent over 700 troops to fight the Malian islamists who seized the north of the country last spring. The unexpected French move received widespread international support.
The EU has so far refused any plans of taking a combat role in the conflict. However, French Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius said that France is not alone.
"France may be the precursor, but I am expecting European solidarity. I am expecting from this meeting a very quick decision to send a series of European troops in order to train the Malian army. I am also expecting European countries to make efforts on the fields of economy and development and then I will hear what my colleagues are able to provide, because we have to keep in mind that all European countries are concerned with terrorism", said French Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius.
EU development aid money was frozen when the jihadists took control of Northern Mali last spring. But funds could be released again if the country commits to an election roadmap, according to the EU.

It has been a tough year for Mali - from an ethnic Tuareg uprising, to a military coup and an Islamist insurgency that threatened to split the nation in half. But French and pan-African forces restored stability in time for the recent elections. Now, with voters set to go to the polls for a presidential run-off on August 11, Mali's $10.4bn economy could get a big boost from international donors, with $4bn of the promised aid dependent on peaceful elections. Mark Connelly, the chief executive of Papillon Resources in Australia, sheds more light on gold mining in Mali. Also, what does the result of Zimbabwe's recent election mean for the country's economy? Also on this episode: China has banned baby milk imports from New Zealand, leading to a rise in demand for products from other countries and, as Al Jazeera's Rob McBride reports, a flourishing trade in milk-smuggling from Hong Kong to the mainland. And finally, Barack Obama says he has a new plan aimed at furthering the recovery of the country's housing market. But what will the proposed series of reforms for borrowers and lenders mean for American home owners and how dependent is a housing recovery on an improvement in the job market?

STORYLINE:
France's finance minister said on Friday that humanitarian aid programmes won't be affected by the freeze on international funding to Mali.
"It is obviously crucial that peace is restored in Mali to protect the population, whose suffering is in our hearts and minds. That is why we have decided to maintain the humanitarian aid programmes," Francois Baroin told a news conference in Paris.
France, which earlier said it is willing to offer logistical support for a military invasion, announced on Friday that it does not recognise the new Tuareg state, which has been declared in the north of the country.
The Tuaregs have taken advantage of the power vacuum following a chaotic military coup in the capital Bamako last month.
"France condemns especially the acts of violence in Northern Mali and the terrorist activities and today we are solemnly calling for the return of constitutional order and for the respect of unity and territorial integrity in Mali," Baroin said.
The military chiefs of 13 of Mali's neighbours met on Thursday in Ivory Coast to hash out plans for a military intervention to push back the rebels in the north, as well as to restore constitutional rule after disgruntled soldiers last month stormed the presidential palace and sent the democratically elected leader into hiding.
The confusion in the capital created an opening for the rebels in the north, who have been attempting to claim independence for more than 50 years.
The coup has been widely condemned by the international community, including the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which has imposed diplomatic and economic sanctions on the junta.
"As the Central Bank didn't receive any authorisation from a recognised legitimate regime, we suspended our operations," said Charles Koffi Diby, the Ivory Coast finance minister and ECOWAS representative.
The traditionally nomadic Tuareg people have been fighting for independence for the northern half of Mali since at least 1958, when Tuareg elders wrote a letter addressed to the French president asking their colonial rulers to carve out a separate homeland called "Azawad" in their language.
The Tuaregs accuse the southerners of marginalising the north and of concentrating development, including lucrative aid projects, in the south.

6. Pan across Cameron and Bouteflika leaving news conference
STORYLINE
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday that a tough security response alone would not be enough to win the international fight against extremism.
"We will best deal with terrorism in different parts of the world when we accept we need a combination of a tough security response but also working with international partners, using our diplomacy, using our aid budget, using all of the things at our disposal including seeking political settlements," said Cameron, during a news conference in the Algerian capital Algiers.
Cameron's trip to Algeria, where he was accompanied by Sir John Sawers, the head of Britain's international spy agency MI6 - followed the deadly 16 January attack on the Ain Amenas natural gas plant.
The incident led to a four-day siege on the complex by Algerian forces.
At least 37 hostages, including six Britons, and 29 militants died in the incident.
Britain was among several countries with citizens held hostage that was not told in advance of Algeria's plan to storm the gas plant.
An al-Qaida-affiliated group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Cameron also spoke on Wednesday about the military campaign led by the French to remove al-Qaida's presence in Mali.
He said while al-Qaida posed a bigger problem in the likes of Pakistan and Yemen compared with Mali the threat could not be ignored.
This week Britain pledged up to 40 personnel to help train Malian soldiers in a bid to deter the extremists.
Britain and Algeria agreed to a security partnership on Wednesday that could see greater intelligence-sharing and planning for future crises.
Senior security, military and intelligence advisers, led by UK national security adviser Kim Darroch and his Algerian counterpart, will examine how Britain and Algeria can strengthen intelligence-sharing and analysis in response to threats in their countries.
They also will look more broadly at threats in North Africa and the Sahel, the region stretching across the Sahara Desert.
Cameron's visit was the first from a serving British prime minister since Algeria gained independence in 1962.

The UN Security Council has condemned the coup in Mali while top officials said fallout from the Libya civil war had increased the frustration of soldiers who ousted the president.
Security Council members "strongly condemn the forcible seizure of power from the democratically-elected government of Mali by some elements of the Malian armed forces," said a council statement.
The 15-nation body called on the soldiers "to ensure the safety and security of President Amadou Toumani Toure and to return to their barracks."
The council demanded "the release of all detained Malian officials" and the "immediate restoration of constitutional rule and the democratically elected government," said the statement read to reporters by Britain's UN ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, the council president, for March.

The intricate dynamic between foreign aid to Africa, democratic transitions and consolidation is the topic of a series of research papers being published under the ReCom Governance & Fragility theme http://www.wider.unu.edu/recom/research_by_theme/theme-2/en_GB/index/ this spring. In this interview we speak to Nicolas van de Walle, John S. Knight Professor of International Studies at Cornell University, whose upcoming WIDER working paper addresses a number of issues surrounding foreign aid and democracy in Mali.
Mali has had functioning multiparty democracy since the end of the one-party system in 1991. This was thought to be a stable arrangement until the political instability of this year. In the interview van de Walle discusses how donors could have supported democratic consolidation in a way that could have helped avert the current political crisis in Mali, and what lessons can democracy assistance and foreign aid communities drawn from the Malian experience.
Van de Walle presented his upcoming WIDER working paper in the ReCom results meeting held in Stockholm on 10 May titled 'Democracy and Fragility'. More information on the event and all the Power Point presentations can be found at http://www.wider.unu.edu/recomresults. More interviews with the presenters of this event will be published at under this series shortly.

French foreign minister has referred to it as the "total reconquest" of its former colony. And now Canada is involving itself militarily in Mali, a country where Canadian mining companies have a lucrative trade. Analysts accuse the Harper government of taking sides in sectarian conflicts in order to reinforce Zionist and other neocolonial interests. They note that while Canada is effectively siding with al-Qaeda-affiliated armed gangs that are destroying Syria they are concurrently coming to the aid of Mali's military junta, citing the need to combat the armed-insurgent groups that Canada appears to be in league with in Syria.
The Toronto based mining company IAMGOLD collaborates with the controversial AngloGold Ashanti corporation in Mali. The government of Prime Minister Steven Harper has remained conspicuously silent about Canada's involvement in Mali. The deployment of a Canadian C-17 plane to Mali, at a cost of $18.6 million to the tax payer, was only revealed via a tweet by Mali's Canadian-backed dictator. Canada also has an "unspecified number" of special forces on the ground.
Analysts have noted the irony that the indigenous peoples of Canada are currently protesting some of the very mining companies the Harper government is spending millions of tax dollars to seemingly back up in Mali. This leads analysts to argue that the indigenous peoples of Canada have much in common with the indigenous peoples of Mali, as both are confronted with rulers who represent the interests of powerful Islamophobes and resource companies.

http://www.euronews.com/ Arriving in Brussels, the EU's Foreign Affairs Chief, Catherine Ashton and other European Foreign Ministers had plenty to discuss at today's Foreign Affairs Council Meeting.
First on the list was the conflict in Syria. British Foreign Minister, William Hague was asked by journalists about reports of Israel bombing a Syrian military research facility.
"There are great dangers from the Syrian conflict", he told reporters, adding "either dangers of the chemical and biological weapons which we believe Syria to have or that weapons in Syria could be moved elsewhere in the region. "
The EU is also considering whether to lift an arms embargo in order to help the opposition.
Also on the agenda for Ministers is how the European Union should respond to events in Mali. It is preparing to launch a military training mission in the country and appoint a special representative.
European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Kristalina Georgieva said that increasing humanitarian aid in Mali is essential: "I am determined to keep Sahel firmly in the center of our attention." She added "it's a very vulnerable region. What is going on in Mali affects also the neighbourhood. "
Ministers will also discuss their response to the Arab Spring. Later they will talk about relations with the US, as well as be joined by the Somali president.
The EU is determined that its member countries should work closely together in their foreign and defence policy to ensure security and developement for their Southern neighbours.

Foreign aid to Mali
Mali is heavily dependent upon foreign aid and is a major recipient of both multilateral and bilateral aid.
Aid donors
Multilateral donors include the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, African Development Bank, Arab Funds, and European Union. Bilateral donors include France, the United States, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, the People's Republic of China, and Germany .
Extent of aid
Foreign aid was estimated at US$596.4 million in 2001. In 2003 U.S. aid totaled US$44.2 million. As economic reforms progress, the government is hoping to move from budgetary and balance of payments assistance to social development aid.

Mali
Coordinates: 17°N 4°W / 17°N 4°W / 17; -4
Mali (
i/ˈmɑːli/; French: [maˈli]), officially the Republic of Mali (French: République du Mali), is a landlocked country in West Africa. Mali is the eighth-largest country in Africa, with an area of just over 1,240,000 square kilometres (480,000 sq mi). The population of Mali is 14.5 million. Its capital is Bamako. Mali consists of eight regions and its borders on the north reach deep into the middle of the Sahara Desert, while the country's southern part, where the majority of inhabitants live, features the Niger and Senegal rivers. The country's economy centers on agriculture and fishing. Some of Mali's prominent natural resources include gold, being the third largest producer of gold in the African continent, and salt. About half the population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 (U.S.) a day. A majority of the population (55%) are non-denominational Muslims.
Present-day Mali was once part of three West African empires that controlled trans-Saharan trade: the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire (for which Mali is named), and the Songhai Empire. During its golden age, there was a flourishing of mathematics, astronomy, literature, and art. At its peak in 1300, the Mali Empire covered an area about twice the size of modern-day France and stretched to the west coast of Africa. In the late 19th century, during the Scramble for Africa, France seized control of Mali, making it a part of French Sudan. French Sudan (then known as the Sudanese Republic) joined with Senegal in 1959, achieving independence in 1960 as the Mali Federation. Shortly thereafter, following Senegal's withdrawal from the federation, the Sudanese Republic declared itself the independent Republic of Mali. After a long period of one-party rule, a coup in 1991 led to the writing of a new constitution and the establishment of Mali as a democratic, multi-party state.

Aid
In international relations, aid (also known as international aid, overseas aid, foreign aid or foreign assistance) is – from the perspective of governments – a voluntary transfer of resources from one country to another.
Aid may serve one or more functions: it may be given as a signal of diplomatic approval, or to strengthen a military ally, to reward a government for behaviour desired by the donor, to extend the donor's cultural influence, to provide infrastructure needed by the donor for resource extraction from the recipient country, or to gain other kinds of commercial access. Humanitarian and altruistic purposes are at least partly responsible for the giving of aid.
Aid may be given by individuals, private organizations, or governments. Standards delimiting exactly the types of transfers considered "aid" vary from country to country. For example, the United States government discontinued the reporting of military aid as part of its foreign aid figures in 1958. The most widely used measure of aid is "Official Development Assistance" (ODA).

SOUNDBITE (French) Charles Koffi Diby, Ivory Coast finance minister and representative of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS): "As the Central Bank didn't receive any authorisation, it decided that while waiting for these authorisations from a recognised legitimate regime - it's a bit like what happened in Ivory Coast in fact - we suspended our operations. That's it. It's because of the government." 9. Wide of news conference STORYLINE: France's finance minister said on Friday that humanitarian aid programmes won't be affected by the freeze on international funding to Mali. "It is obviously crucial that peace is restored in Mali to protect the population, whose suffering is in our hearts and minds. That is why we have decided to maintain the humanitarian aid programmes," Francois Baroin told a news conference in Paris. France, which earlier said it is willing to offer logistical support for a military invasion, announced on Friday that it does not recognise the new Tuareg state, which has been declared in the north of the country. The Tuaregs have taken advantage of the power vacuum following a chaotic military coup in the capital Bamako last month. "France condemns especially the acts of violence in Northern Mali and the terrorist activities and today we are solemnly calling for the return of constitutional order and for the respect of unity and territorial integrity in Mali," Baroin said. The military chiefs of 13 of Mali's neighbours met on Thursday in Ivory Coast to hash out plans for a military intervention to push back the rebels in the north, as well as to restore constitutional rule after disgruntled soldiers last month stormed the presidential palace and sent the democratically elected leader into hiding. The confusion in the capital created an opening for the rebels in the north, who have been attempting to claim independence for more than 50 years. The coup has been widely condemned by the international community, including the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which has imposed diplomatic and economic sanctions on the junta. "As the Central Bank didn't receive any authorisation from a recognised legitimate regime, we suspended our operations," said Charles Koffi Diby, the Ivory Coast finance minister and ECOWAS representative. The traditionally nomadic Tuareg people have been fighting for independence for the northern half of Mali since at least 1958, when Tuareg elders wrote a letter addressed to the French president asking their colonial rulers to carve out a separate homeland called "Azawad" in their language. The Tuaregs accuse the southerners of marginalising the north and of concentrating development, including lucrative aid projects, in the south.

++AUDIO QUALITY AS INCOMING++ 1. Pan across David Cameron, British Prime Minister, arriving at news conference 2. Close-up of Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Algerian President 3. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, British Prime Minister: "The terrorism threat that we face from al-Qaida in parts of Pakistan, in Yemen, in Somalia is clearly more of a threat than the al-Qaida terrorism that is growing in Mali today but because it is growing, we should not ignore it. We should work with partners to try to combat it." 4. Cutaway of Cameron 5. SOUNDBITE: (English) David Cameron, British Prime Minister: "We will best deal with terrorism in different parts of the world when we accept we need a combination of a tough security response but also working with international partners, using our diplomacy, using our aid budget, using all of the things at our disposal including seeking political settlements." 6. Pan across Cameron and Bouteflika leaving news conference STORYLINE Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday that a tough security response alone would not be enough to win the international fight against extremism. "We will best deal with terrorism in different parts of the world when we accept we need a combination of a tough security response but also working with international partners, using our diplomacy, using our aid budget, using all of the things at our disposal including seeking political settlements," said Cameron, during a news conference in the Algerian capital Algiers. Cameron's trip to Algeria, where he was accompanied by Sir John Sawers, the head of Britain's international spy agency MI6 - followed the deadly 16 January attack on the Ain Amenas natural gas plant. The incident led to a four-day siege on the complex by Algerian forces. At least 37 hostages, including six Britons, and 29 militants died in the incident. Britain was among several countries with citizens held hostage that was not told in advance of Algeria's plan to storm the gas plant. An al-Qaida-affiliated group claimed responsibility for the attack. Cameron also spoke on Wednesday about the military campaign led by the French to remove al-Qaida's presence in Mali. He said while al-Qaida posed a bigger problem in the likes of Pakistan and Yemen compared with Mali the threat could not be ignored. This week Britain pledged up to 40 personnel to help train Malian soldiers in a bid to deter the extremists. Britain and Algeria agreed to a security partnership on Wednesday that could see greater intelligence-sharing and planning for future crises. Senior security, military and intelligence advisers, led by UK national security adviser Kim Darroch and his Algerian counterpart, will examine how Britain and Algeria can strengthen intelligence-sharing and analysis in response to threats in their countries. They also will look more broadly at threats in North Africa and the Sahel, the region stretching across the Sahara Desert. Cameron's visit was the first from a serving British prime minister since Algeria gained independence in 1962.

Security Council members "strongly condemn the forcible seizure of power from the democratically-elected government of Mali by some elements of the Malian armed forces," said a council statement. The 15-nation body called on the soldiers "to ensure the safety and security of President Amadou Toumani Toure and to return to their barracks." The council demanded "the release of all detained Malian officials" and the "immediate restoration of constitutional rule and the democratically elected government," said the statement read to reporters by Britain's UN ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, the council president, for March.

UNU-WIDER Interview Series: Nicolas van de ValleUNU-WIDER Interview Series: Nicolas van de Valle
The intricate dynamic between foreign aid to Africa, democratic transitions and consolidation is the topic of a series of research papers being published under the ReCom Governance & Fragility theme http://www.wider.unu.edu/recom/research_by_theme/theme-2/en_GB/index/ this spring. In this interview we speak to Nicolas van de Walle, John S. Knight Professor of International Studies at Cornell University, whose upcoming WIDER working paper addresses a number of issues surrounding foreign aid and democracy in Mali. Mali has had functioning multiparty democracy since the end of the one-party system in 1991. This was thought to be a stable arrangement until the political instability of this year. In the interview van de Walle discusses how donors could have supported democratic consolidation in a way that could have helped avert the current political crisis in Mali, and what lessons can democracy assistance and foreign aid communities drawn from the Malian experience. Van de Walle presented his upcoming WIDER working paper in the ReCom results meeting held in Stockholm on 10 May titled 'Democracy and Fragility'. More information on the event and all the Power Point presentations can be found at http://www.wider.unu.edu/recomresults. More interviews with the presenters of this event will be published at under this series shortly. -
3:03Canada aiding France's War on Mali
Canada aiding France's War on MaliCanada aiding France's War on Mali
French foreign minister has referred to it as the "total reconquest" of its former colony. And now Canada is involving itself militarily in Mali, a country where Canadian mining companies have a lucrative trade. Analysts accuse the Harper government of taking sides in sectarian conflicts in order to reinforce Zionist and other neocolonial interests. They note that while Canada is effectively siding with al-Qaeda-affiliated armed gangs that are destroying Syria they are concurrently coming to the aid of Mali's military junta, citing the need to combat the armed-insurgent groups that Canada appears to be in league with in Syria. The Toronto based mining company IAMGOLD collaborates with the controversial AngloGold Ashanti corporation in Mali. The government of Prime Minister Steven Harper has remained conspicuously silent about Canada's involvement in Mali. The deployment of a Canadian C-17 plane to Mali, at a cost of $18.6 million to the tax payer, was only revealed via a tweet by Mali's Canadian-backed dictator. Canada also has an "unspecified number" of special forces on the ground. Analysts have noted the irony that the indigenous peoples of Canada are currently protesting some of the very mining companies the Harper government is spending millions of tax dollars to seemingly back up in Mali. This leads analysts to argue that the indigenous peoples of Canada have much in common with the indigenous peoples of Mali, as both are confronted with rulers who represent the interests of powerful Islamophobes and resource companies.

http://www.euronews.com/ Arriving in Brussels, the EU's Foreign Affairs Chief, Catherine Ashton and other European Foreign Ministers had plenty to discuss at today's Foreign Affairs Council Meeting. First on the list was the conflict in Syria. British Foreign Minister, William Hague was asked by journalists about reports of Israel bombing a Syrian military research facility. "There are great dangers from the Syrian conflict", he told reporters, adding "either dangers of the chemical and biological weapons which we believe Syria to have or that weapons in Syria could be moved elsewhere in the region. " The EU is also considering whether to lift an arms embargo in order to help the opposition. Also on the agenda for Ministers is how the European Union should respond to events in Mali. It is preparing to launch a military training mission in the country and appoint a special representative. European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Kristalina Georgieva said that increasing humanitarian aid in Mali is essential: "I am determined to keep Sahel firmly in the center of our attention." She added "it's a very vulnerable region. What is going on in Mali affects also the neighbourhood. " Ministers will also discuss their response to the Arab Spring. Later they will talk about relations with the US, as well as be joined by the Somali president. The EU is determined that its member countries should work closely together in their foreign and defence policy to ensure security and developement for their Southern neighbours.

International Aid Remains Insufficient for 160,000 Malian Refugees
Since late January, nearly 160,000 Malians have fled their country for camps in Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Niger. While instability persists in Mali, leaving little hope that the refugees can return to their country soon, another imminent threat is looming: the rainy season, which will further complicate the deployment of aid. -
Prayercast | Mali
Between Algeria to the north and Niger to the east is the landlocked West African nation of Mali. Once ruled by France, Mali achieved independence in 1960. This independence came at a price, though, as a dictatorship held power for over three decades until a 1991 military coup. Yet from this political rubble has emerged one of the most stable democracies in Africa. Despite representing multiple ethnic groups of differing languages and histories, Mali has enjoyed peaceful relations among its people. Fishing in the Niger and Senegal rivers has provided a stable economy that also helps feed a developing agricultural economy. However, Mali is one of the twenty-five poorest countries in the world. With no coastline, Mali is dependent on agricultural exports and gold mining for revenue. ... -
Algeria hostages killed as Mali conflict continues
After Islamist militants seized a gas plant in the Algerian desert on Wednesday, reports now say that some of the foreign hostages held have been killed. The Algerian authorities have yet to release official casualty figures. The gas facility was seized after France sent troops last week to combat Islamist insurgents in neighboring Mali. EU Foreign Ministers, who where holding a snap meeting in Brussels to discuss the Malian conflict, refused to comment. Only the Malian Foreign policy minister told reporters in Brussels that he believes there is a link between the Malian rebels and Algerian militants. "For the last few years we have seen many hostages taken and this just proves that is an obscure jihadist forces that paddle with drug trafficking have permeated a whole region and I think... -

But French and pan-African forces restored stability in time for the recent elections. Now, with voters set to go to the polls for a presidential run-off on August 11, Mali's $10.4bn economy could get a big boost from international donors, with $4bn of the promised aid dependent on peaceful elections.

However, Mali is one of the twenty-five poorest countries in the world. With no coastline, Mali is dependent on agricultural exports and gold mining for revenue. The harsh Sahara desert in the north causes frequent droughts, damaging the delicate farming industry that is still struggling to develop. Attempts have been made to grow tourism, but security issues continue to hinder these efforts. Mali also has one of the world's highest rates of infant mortality, with 106 deaths per 1,000 births. Almost half of the entire population is under the age of fifteen. Mali is also a source, transit, and destination area for men, women, and children who are subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Women and young girls are placed in domestic servitude as well as sold for sex. Young boys are forced to work in gold mines and the agricultural sector. Forced begging is a current issue that has yet to be addressed properly by the government.
Yet, despite the struggles and poverty, God is still there. The church, though still small, has taken root in the cultures and hearts of the Malian people. Eighty-seven percent of the population is Muslim, though the Islam practiced is moderate and tolerant. Multiple other indigenous animist beliefs are also practiced by 10% of the population, with the last 3% being the growing Christian population. Every year, the number of Christians is doubling. Due to the extreme poverty, Mali depends on the foreign aid of Libya and Saudi Arabia, who fund Malian schools which are based on Qur'anic beliefs. Most churches are combining outreach with the relief aid that is so desperately needed. Sixty percent of Malians are unreached, but there is hope in the small but fervent church that is taking shape. God's hope is prevailing.
wn.com/Prayercast | Mali
Between Algeria to the north and Niger to the east is the landlocked West African nation of Mali. Once ruled by France, Mali achieved independence in 1960. This independence came at a price, though, as a dictatorship held power for over three decades until a 1991 military coup. Yet from this political rubble has emerged one of the most stable democracies in Africa. Despite representing multiple ethnic groups of differing languages and histories, Mali has enjoyed peaceful relations among its people. Fishing in the Niger and Senegal rivers has provided a stable economy that also helps feed a developing agricultural economy.
However, Mali is one of the twenty-five poorest countries in the world. With no coastline, Mali is dependent on agricultural exports and gold mining for revenue.

After Islamist militants seized a gas plant in the Algerian desert on Wednesday, reports now say that some of the foreign hostages held have been killed. The Algerian authorities have yet to release official casualty figures.
The gas facility was seized after France sent troops last week to combat Islamist insurgents in neighboring Mali.
EU Foreign Ministers, who where holding a snap meeting in Brussels to discuss the Malian conflict, refused to comment. Only the Malian Foreign policy minister told reporters in Brussels that he believes there is a link between the Malian rebels and Algerian militants.
"For the last few years we have seen many hostages taken and this just proves that is an obscure jihadist forces that paddle with drug trafficking have permeated a whole region and I think that really shows what their true nature is", said Malian Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Tiéman Coulibaly.
Meanwhile, EU Foreign ministers agreed on Thursday to speed up the deployment of the EU military training mission to Mali.
"We agree to establish a EU mission to train and advice Malian arm forces and we appointed a French brigadier, François Lecointre as a Mission Commander. The first technical team for this mission will start preparatory work in Mali in the coming few days. We agree to accelerate our work to support the African military mission to Mali and we are offering financial support to it trough the African peace facility", said EU Foreign Policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Last week France sent over 700 troops to fight the Malian islamists who seized the north of the country last spring. The unexpected French move received widespread international support.
The EU has so far refused any plans of taking a combat role in the conflict. However, French Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius said that France is not alone.
"France may be the precursor, but I am expecting European solidarity. I am expecting from this meeting a very quick decision to send a series of European troops in order to train the Malian army. I am also expecting European countries to make efforts on the fields of economy and development and then I will hear what my colleagues are able to provide, because we have to keep in mind that all European countries are concerned with terrorism", said French Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius.
EU development aid money was frozen when the jihadists took control of Northern Mali last spring. But funds could be released again if the country commits to an election roadmap, according to the EU.

It has been a tough year for Mali - from an ethnic Tuareg uprising, to a military coup and an Islamist insurgency that threatened to split the nation in half. But French and pan-African forces restored stability in time for the recent elections. Now, with voters set to go to the polls for a presidential run-off on August 11, Mali's $10.4bn economy could get a big boost from international donors, with $4bn of the promised aid dependent on peaceful elections. Mark Connelly, the chief executive of Papillon Resources in Australia, sheds more light on gold mining in Mali. Also, what does the result of Zimbabwe's recent election mean for the country's economy? Also on this episode: China has banned baby milk imports from New Zealand, leading to a rise in demand for products from other countries and, as Al Jazeera's Rob McBride reports, a flourishing trade in milk-smuggling from Hong Kong to the mainland. And finally, Barack Obama says he has a new plan aimed at furthering the recovery of the country's housing market. But what will the proposed series of reforms for borrowers and lenders mean for American home owners and how dependent is a housing recovery on an improvement in the job market?

STORYLINE:
France's finance minister said on Friday that humanitarian aid programmes won't be affected by the freeze on international funding to Mali.
"It is obviously crucial that peace is restored in Mali to protect the population, whose suffering is in our hearts and minds. That is why we have decided to maintain the humanitarian aid programmes," Francois Baroin told a news conference in Paris.
France, which earlier said it is willing to offer logistical support for a military invasion, announced on Friday that it does not recognise the new Tuareg state, which has been declared in the north of the country.
The Tuaregs have taken advantage of the power vacuum following a chaotic military coup in the capital Bamako last month.
"France condemns especially the acts of violence in Northern Mali and the terrorist activities and today we are solemnly calling for the return of constitutional order and for the respect of unity and territorial integrity in Mali," Baroin said.
The military chiefs of 13 of Mali's neighbours met on Thursday in Ivory Coast to hash out plans for a military intervention to push back the rebels in the north, as well as to restore constitutional rule after disgruntled soldiers last month stormed the presidential palace and sent the democratically elected leader into hiding.
The confusion in the capital created an opening for the rebels in the north, who have been attempting to claim independence for more than 50 years.
The coup has been widely condemned by the international community, including the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which has imposed diplomatic and economic sanctions on the junta.
"As the Central Bank didn't receive any authorisation from a recognised legitimate regime, we suspended our operations," said Charles Koffi Diby, the Ivory Coast finance minister and ECOWAS representative.
The traditionally nomadic Tuareg people have been fighting for independence for the northern half of Mali since at least 1958, when Tuareg elders wrote a letter addressed to the French president asking their colonial rulers to carve out a separate homeland called "Azawad" in their language.
The Tuaregs accuse the southerners of marginalising the north and of concentrating development, including lucrative aid projects, in the south.

STORYLINE
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday that a tough security response alone would not be enough to win the international fight against extremism.
"We will best deal with terrorism in different parts of the world when we accept we need a combination of a tough security response but also working with international partners, using our diplomacy, using our aid budget, using all of the things at our disposal including seeking political settlements," said Cameron, during a news conference in the Algerian capital Algiers.
Cameron's trip to Algeria, where he was accompanied by Sir John Sawers, the head of Britain's international spy agency MI6 - followed the deadly 16 January attack on the Ain Amenas natural gas plant.
The incident led to a four-day siege on the complex by Algerian forces.
At least 37 hostages, including six Britons, and 29 militants died in the incident.
Britain was among several countries with citizens held hostage that was not told in advance of Algeria's plan to storm the gas plant.
An al-Qaida-affiliated group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Cameron also spoke on Wednesday about the military campaign led by the French to remove al-Qaida's presence in Mali.
He said while al-Qaida posed a bigger problem in the likes of Pakistan and Yemen compared with Mali the threat could not be ignored.
This week Britain pledged up to 40 personnel to help train Malian soldiers in a bid to deter the extremists.
Britain and Algeria agreed to a security partnership on Wednesday that could see greater intelligence-sharing and planning for future crises.
Senior security, military and intelligence advisers, led by UK national security adviser Kim Darroch and his Algerian counterpart, will examine how Britain and Algeria can strengthen intelligence-sharing and analysis in response to threats in their countries.
They also will look more broadly at threats in North Africa and the Sahel, the region stretching across the Sahara Desert.
Cameron's visit was the first from a serving British prime minister since Algeria gained independence in 1962.

The UN Security Council has condemned the coup in Mali while top officials said fallout from the Libya civil war had increased the frustration of soldiers who ousted the president.
Security Council members "strongly condemn the forcible seizure of power from the democratically-elected government of Mali by some elements of the Malian armed forces," said a council statement.
The 15-nation body called on the soldiers "to ensure the safety and security of President Amadou Toumani Toure and to return to their barracks."
The council demanded "the release of all detained Malian officials" and the "immediate restoration of constitutional rule and the democratically elected government," said the statement read to reporters by Britain's UN ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, the council president, for March.

The intricate dynamic between foreign aid to Africa, democratic transitions and consolidation is the topic of a series of research papers being published under the ReCom Governance & Fragility theme http://www.wider.unu.edu/recom/research_by_theme/theme-2/en_GB/index/ this spring. In this interview we speak to Nicolas van de Walle, John S. Knight Professor of International Studies at Cornell University, whose upcoming WIDER working paper addresses a number of issues surrounding foreign aid and democracy in Mali.
Mali has had functioning multiparty democracy since the end of the one-party system in 1991. This was thought to be a stable arrangement until the political instability of this year. In the interview van de Walle discusses how donors could have supported democratic consolidation in a way that could have helped avert the current political crisis in Mali, and what lessons can democracy assistance and foreign aid communities drawn from the Malian experience.
Van de Walle presented his upcoming WIDER working paper in the ReCom results meeting held in Stockholm on 10 May titled 'Democracy and Fragility'. More information on the event and all the Power Point presentations can be found at http://www.wider.unu.edu/recomresults. More interviews with the presenters of this event will be published at under this series shortly.

Knight Professor of International Studies at Cornell University, whose upcoming WIDER working paper addresses a number of issues surrounding foreign aid and democracy in Mali.
Mali has had functioning multiparty democracy since the end of the one-party system in 1991. This was thought to be a stable arrangement until the political instability of this year. In the interview van de Walle discusses how donors could have supported democratic consolidation in a way that could have helped avert the current political crisis in Mali, and what lessons can democracy assistance and foreign aid communities drawn from the Malian experience.
Van de Walle presented his upcoming WIDER working paper in the ReCom results meeting held in Stockholm on 10 May titled 'Democracy and Fragility'. More information on the event and all the Power Point presentations can be found at http://www.wider.unu.edu/recomresults. More interviews with the presenters of this event will be published at under this series shortly.

French foreign minister has referred to it as the "total reconquest" of its former colony. And now Canada is involving itself militarily in Mali, a country where Canadian mining companies have a lucrative trade. Analysts accuse the Harper government of taking sides in sectarian conflicts in order to reinforce Zionist and other neocolonial interests. They note that while Canada is effectively siding with al-Qaeda-affiliated armed gangs that are destroying Syria they are concurrently coming to the aid of Mali's military junta, citing the need to combat the armed-insurgent groups that Canada appears to be in league with in Syria.
The Toronto based mining company IAMGOLD collaborates with the controversial AngloGold Ashanti corporation in Mali. The government of Prime Minister Steven Harper has remained conspicuously silent about Canada's involvement in Mali. The deployment of a Canadian C-17 plane to Mali, at a cost of $18.6 million to the tax payer, was only revealed via a tweet by Mali's Canadian-backed dictator. Canada also has an "unspecified number" of special forces on the ground.
Analysts have noted the irony that the indigenous peoples of Canada are currently protesting some of the very mining companies the Harper government is spending millions of tax dollars to seemingly back up in Mali. This leads analysts to argue that the indigenous peoples of Canada have much in common with the indigenous peoples of Mali, as both are confronted with rulers who represent the interests of powerful Islamophobes and resource companies.

http://www.euronews.com/ Arriving in Brussels, the EU's Foreign Affairs Chief, Catherine Ashton and other European Foreign Ministers had plenty to discuss at today's Foreign Affairs Council Meeting.
First on the list was the conflict in Syria. British Foreign Minister, William Hague was asked by journalists about reports of Israel bombing a Syrian military research facility.
"There are great dangers from the Syrian conflict", he told reporters, adding "either dangers of the chemical and biological weapons which we believe Syria to have or that weapons in Syria could be moved elsewhere in the region. "
The EU is also considering whether to lift an arms embargo in order to help the opposition.
Also on the agenda for Ministers is how the European Union should respond to events in Mali. It is preparing to launch a military training mission in the country and appoint a special representative.
European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, Kristalina Georgieva said that increasing humanitarian aid in Mali is essential: "I am determined to keep Sahel firmly in the center of our attention." She added "it's a very vulnerable region. What is going on in Mali affects also the neighbourhood. "
Ministers will also discuss their response to the Arab Spring. Later they will talk about relations with the US, as well as be joined by the Somali president.
The EU is determined that its member countries should work closely together in their foreign and defence policy to ensure security and developement for their Southern neighbours.

Economy of Mali
The Economy of Mali is based to a large extent upon agriculture, with a mostly rural population engaged in subsistence agriculture. Mali is among the ten poorest nations of the world, is one of the 37 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, and is a major recipient of foreign aid from many sources, including multilateral organizations, and bilateral programs funded by the European Union, France, United States, Canada, Netherlands, and Germany. Before 1991, the former Soviet Union, China and the Warsaw Pact countries had been a major source of economic and military aid. This video is targeted to blind users.

The Destruction of Africa: Travel, History, Politics, Economics, Foreign Aid, and Religion (1990)
Today, Africa contains 54 sovereign countries, most of which have borders that were drawn during the era of European colonialism. Since colonialism, African states have frequently been hampered by instability, corruption, violence, and authoritarianism. The vast majority of African states are republics that operate under some form of the presidential system of rule. However, few of them have been able to sustain democratic governments on a permanent basis, and many have instead cycled through a series of coups, producing military dictatorships. Great instability was mainly the result of marginalization of ethnic groups, and graft under these leaders. For political gain, many leaders fanned ethnic conflicts, some of which had been exacerbated, or even created, by colonial rule. In many cou... -
From Mali to Syria: Dealing with a Troubled Neighborhood
The many seasons of the Arab Spring continue to highlight the risks for international stability looming from Europe's southern neighborhood, while simultaneously underlining the hard truth that both action and inaction may have unintended consequences. The best approach to containing emergent crises may therefore be to demonstrate coherent transatlantic resolve. Transitioning the region away from its corrosive volatility, however, may require a longer term multilateral multi-level engagement.

West's foreign policy in Africa, a catalyst in Mali coup?-Africa Today-04-03-2012
Frustration at the way in which Mali's president is dealing with a Tuareg uprising has led its military to take a dangerous gamble. It did not take long for the Libyan conflict to spill over borders in the Sahel region - and now Mali seems to have paid the highest price so far following a coup by disgruntled soldiers. The trouble began when hundreds of Malian combatants who had fought to defend the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, fled back home with weapons at the end of last year and formed the most powerful Tuareg-led rebel group the region have known - the Azawad National Liberation Movement (MNLA).

Does Tuareg Independence in Mali Highlight an African Awakening for Self-Determination?
DemocracyNow.org - The president of Mali, Amadou Toumani Toure, has formally resigned after soldiers ousted him in a coup in March, with power set to be transferred to Mali's National Assembly after elections later this month. The soldiers say they seized power because of Toure's alleged mishandling of a rebellion of ethnic Tuareg rebels, who have succeeded in capturing several key northern cities, declaring their independence and now calling for international recognition. Officials claim the rebels are a mix of Tuareg separatists and Islamists with links to al-Qaeda. We speak with Firoze Manji, editor-in-chief of Pambazuka News, a pan-African social justice website. He was formerly the Africa director for Amnesty International. Manji recently co-edited a book called , "African Awakening: ...

Today, Africa contains 54 sovereign countries, most of which have borders that were drawn during the era of European colonialism. Since colonialism, African states have frequently been hampered by instability, corruption, violence, and authoritarianism. The vast majority of African states are republics that operate under some form of the presidential system of rule. However, few of them have been able to sustain democratic governments on a permanent basis, and many have instead cycled through a series of coups, producing military dictatorships.
Great instability was mainly the result of marginalization of ethnic groups, and graft under these leaders. For political gain, many leaders fanned ethnic conflicts, some of which had been exacerbated, or even created, by colonial rule. In many countries, the military was perceived as being the only group that could effectively maintain order, and it ruled many nations in Africa during the 1970s and early 1980s. During the period from the early 1960s to the late 1980s, Africa had more than 70 coups and 13 presidential assassinations. Border and territorial disputes were also common, with the European-imposed borders of many nations being widely contested through armed conflicts.
Cold War conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the policies of the International Monetary Fund, also played a role in instability. When a country became independent for the first time, it was often expected to align with one of the two superpowers. Many countries in Northern Africa received Soviet military aid, while many in Central and Southern Africa were supported by the United States, France or both. The 1970s saw an escalation, as newly independent Angola and Mozambique aligned themselves with the Soviet Union, and the West and South Africa sought to contain Soviet influence by funding insurgency movements. There was a major famine in Ethiopia, when hundreds of thousands of people starved. Some claimed that Marxist/Soviet policies made the situation worse. The most devastating military conflict in modern independent Africa has been the Second Congo War; this conflict and its aftermath has killed an estimated 5.5 million people. Since 2003 there has been an ongoing conflict in Darfur which has become a humanitarian disaster. Another notable tragic event is the 1994 Rwandan Genocide in which an estimated 800 000 people were murdered. AIDS in post-colonial Africa has also been a prevalent issue.
In the 21st century, however, the number of armed conflicts in Africa has steadily declined. For instance, the civil war in Angola came to an end in 2002 after nearly 30 years. This has coincided with many countries abandoning communist style command economies and opening up for market reforms. The improved stability and economic reforms have led to a great increase in foreign investment into many African nations, mainly from China, which has spurred quick economic growth in many countries, seemingly ending decades of stagnation and decline. Several African economies are among the world's fasted growing as of 2011. A significant part of this growth can also be attributed to the facilitated diffusion of information technologies and specifically the mobile telephone.

DemocracyNow.org - The president of Mali, Amadou Toumani Toure, has formally resigned after soldiers ousted him in a coup in March, with power set to be transferred to Mali's National Assembly after elections later this month. The soldiers say they seized power because of Toure's alleged mishandling of a rebellion of ethnic Tuareg rebels, who have succeeded in capturing several key northern cities, declaring their independence and now calling for international recognition. Officials claim the rebels are a mix of Tuareg separatists and Islamists with links to al-Qaeda. We speak with Firoze Manji, editor-in-chief of Pambazuka News, a pan-African social justice website. He was formerly the Africa director for Amnesty International. Manji recently co-edited a book called , "African Awakening: The Emerging Revolutions." Manji argues the political unrest in Mali, Senegal and beyond is "driven by the fact that over the last 30 years, our people have lost all the gains of independence," due in large part to what he calls neo-liberal policies imposed on many African countries by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. "People feel that their governments are more accountable to the banks and to the multi-national corporations than they are to citizens," Manji says.
