Sukobi u Maliju

Hiljade demostranata izašlo na ulice Malija
Srna 05.02.2022.

Hiljade antifrancuskih demonstranata izašlo je danas na ulice prijestonice Malija mašući ruskim zastavama i paleći kartonske figure francuskog predsjednika Emanuela Makrona, proslavljajući protjerivanja francuskog izaslanika u Bamaku.

Mali je protjerao francuskog ambasadora prošle neđelje zbog onoga što je prelazna vlada zemlje opisala kao "neprijateljske i nečuvene" komentare bivše kolonijalne sile. Odnosi između Malija i njegovog bivšeg kolonizatora postali su teški nakon što je hunta, koja je preuzela vlast u avgustu 2020. godine, odustala od obećanja da će organizovati izbore u februaru i predložila da zadrži vlast do 2025. godine. Neodržavanje izbora dovelo je do kaznenih ekonomskih i finansijskih sankcija koje podržavaju Francuska i druge zemlje Evropske unije. EU je danas uvela sankcije, uključujući zabranu putovanja i zamrzavanje imovine, pet osoba uključujući premijera Malija Čogela Majgu i članove užeg kruga privremenog predsjednika Asimija Goite.

Oko 3.000 ljudi okupilo se danas u centru Bamaka. Adama Ben Dijara, poznat kao Kamarad Ben Le Servo, glasni nacionalistički proruski aktivista koga je EU optužila da je pomogao u rušenju vlade u avgustu 2020. godine, jedan je od onih koje je EU sankcionisala. Dijara je okupljenima rekao da je čast biti na listi sankcija EU. On je rekao da je protjerivanje francuskog ambasadora važan korak. On je dodao da sljedeći korak mora biti odlazak preko 5.100 vojnika za borbu protiv terorizma raspoređenih u Maliju kao pomoć u borbi protiv pobunjenika povezanih sa "Islamskom državom" i Al Kaidom.

"Radi bezbjednosti svog naroda, spreman sam da sklopim pakt sa Satanom da odvede Francusku i njene terorističke saveznike", rekao je Diara, govoreći o raspoređivanju ruskih plaćenika u Maliju, još jednom pitanju koje se pogoršalo odnose između Malija i Francuske i drugih zapadnih partnera koji se bore protiv militanata u Sahelu.

Malians celebrate French troop withdrawal, expel ambassador

There have been scenes of jubilation in Mali, after France said it would begin to pull its troops out of the West African country. France has helped in the struggle against radical Islamic militias for nine years - until relations with Mali's military leaders turned sour. Paris objects to their alleged hiring of a Russian mercenary group to fight the jihadists. But for now there's a sense of relief in Bamako.

In the streets of Bamako, Malians waved brooms and sweep away ash - symbolising the departure of French troops after nearly a decade.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced the withdrawal of anti-jihadist forces on Thursday - after months of escalating tensions with Mali's military leaders.

But his inital timeline of four to six months is now under question. Mali's army-led goverment has expelled the French ambassador and demanded the immediate departure of both French and European forces.

On the streets, the mood among the government's supporters is clear. Popular resentment against France has been driven by its failure to stem the tide of radical Islamic attacks in Mali.The French troops' withdrawal now potentially opens the door for talks between the government and radical islamist forces it opposes.
