Advocacy for Mali

What’s Happening?

Mali has experienced perpetual conflict and displacement for the last decade. Although violence was initially concentrated in the country’s north, armed groups have now moved into central Mali, exacerbating tensions between communities over access to land and water. Across the country, violent confrontations have repeatedly forced people to flee their homes and left Malians in dire need of humanitarian assistance. The withdrawal of the UN peacekeeping mission after a recent military coup has had negative consequences. 

What Must Be Done?

Refugees International calls on the international community to leverage its funds and influence to compel the Malian government to increase its efforts to protect its civilians and ensure that humanitarian aid can be delivered to those in dire need.
