Acting President of Mali, Diacoundé Traoré, officially required, Tuesday, September 4, a military intervention of the Community of African States West (ECOWAS) to liberate northern Mali, occupied by Islamists last five months . While the nature of military intervention remains disorder, Gilles Yabi, Project Manager West Africa International Crisis Group, examines the issues related to military intervention in Mali.
How the formal request of Mali is important?
It has been several months since ECOWAS announced its intention to intervene in Mali and prepares military assistance in the area. But in the absence of a formal request clear Mali, no external action was possible. The request of President Traoré Diacoundé is a strong political signal, which comes at a time when the international community began to grow impatient.
Bamako Why did he not ask for military aid sooner?
The reasons are political. Mali has headed a government composed of the President and the Prime Minister, and they are not subject to the same influences. Many bell sounds exist within the Malian authorities about political intervention and the government is struggling to speak with one voice. The power of Captain Amadou Sanogo, head of the military junta, is also a key element vis-à-vis the nature of the mandate of the ECOWAS.
What is the position of the head of the junta?
Amadou Sanogo is not against military assistance, but it should only be logistical, in the field of transport, particularly air, as Mali has very few facilities of this type. Sanogo would also provide assistance to military training, including techniques to develop its struggle against terrorism.
Why Captain Sanogo preclude it in a military deployment?
If fighting categorically important military intervention on Malian soil, it is because he fears (along with part of the army behind him) that the junta loses its importance. External military assistance to reconquer the North threaten its influence with the government while Sanogo wants, however, show that the junta has power and has its say. This is a blocking important. Sanogo wants an intervention in which the Malian army is the largest possible.
The nature of the mandate of the ECOWAS remains trouble?
The fact that Captain Sanogo has publicly indicated that it dissociated a military deployment immediately after the formal request of the head of state is explicit. For its part, wants to strengthen ECOWAS civilian authorities over the military authorities and would be prepared to send 3,300 men in Mali. She wants military presence in Bamako to protect the institutions of the political transition. Sanogo fight fiercely this possibility and Traoré himself rejects this option in his letter, which also appears as a concession by the government to the military.
What role the UN in these negotiations?
It is essential that ECOWAS has the support of the UN because it does not have the financial means to carry alone intervention in Mali. At the end of the month in New York, there will be significant discussions on this subject at the meeting of the Security Council. The African Union also plays an important role in the negotiations. It is possible that the support of the UN through this organization.
