The crisis in Mali

For the people of Mali, the past decade has been marked by a series of crises, culminating in the seizure of the country’s northern region by armed jihadists in 2012. In response, the French-led “Operation Serval” was launched to liberate the territory, but it failed to restore peace. Instead, the crisis only deepened, leading to the spread of violence and terror throughout the Sahel region.

In this gripping new documentary, viewers will learn how Mali’s political and economic failures created a breeding ground for jihadist extremism, and how the international community’s indifference only served to exacerbate the problem. Using rare footage and interviews with key players, the film explores the roots and consequences of the crisis, as well as its impact on the millions of refugees struggling to survive in the region. Don’t miss this powerful and insightful look at one of the most complex and urgent issues of our time.
