Cyril Bensimon discussess in Le Monde the recent Malian military coup. IBK was overthrown on August 18th by an army that, eight years earlier, in 2012, had greatly contributed to its accession to command by ousting his predecessor, Amadou Toumani Touré. Since then, the state became increasingly fragile.
An International Crisis Group report suggests that Malian actors and international parterns need to restore constitutional order and support governance conducive to real reforms rather than restore the previous system and personalities, which have contributed to the crisis in the first place.
