The French Army crushed the terrorists and destroyed their vehicles, but the local government is weak and its army so undisciplined and untrained that the terrorists just have to wait for the French Army to get out of the area to re-take the area. There is a video where the Malian military is trying to fight off the terrorists but they are so uncoordinated that they are doing more damages to themselves than the terrorists, in the video there is one experienced Malian soldier who literally has to tell his soldiers not to shoot randomly. The French Army had to intervene to repel the terrorists.

We could defeat our oppressors but we're too busy fighting each other over other people's Gods and praying to them rather than taking rightful action.
@@afroartist1086 i agree to a certain extend. For exemple, at least in mali, it has been proved that Islam was not forced on population for major part and has been present before colonization. Kankou Moussa for example was Muslim and did the pilgrimage in 1324 but Mali didn’t become a French colony before 1895. There are many exemples of Muslims in west Africa way before colonization, the same can’t be said of Christianity. However, I do agree African tend to do nothing and expect god to solve miraculously solve all the problems without putting in the work. But I see that as a cultural issue and something that’s not related to religion itself. I also believe that just because religion was used as an excuse or an instrument during Arabic or European conquests, it doesn’t necessary invalidates religion. because djihadists and white supremacist have recently been doing the same using religion to justify their actions, even if it doesn’t necessarily represent the religion.

asking to a warlord whether he's commit genocide is not disrespectul, it's a search for the truth or at least knowing what this man believes about it, your notion of what is respect is distorted
There are no balls in asking a friendly tribal chief if he is getting payback for what a bunch of Jihadists & their Fulani hosts are doing to his people. Of course he would sustain he didn't do it, because that's the game Vice wants to play. If it was about interviewing the Jihadists themselves, well, you wouldn't have a documentary.

Being a Fulani myself, I am ready to join al qaieda rather than see the Malian army kill my peers. the rebellion of 2012, 1990 are the consequences of this marginalization
@@jeansansterre6908 I'm not sure joining Al Qaieda is the solution though. There has to be a way to get defenses without joining a group like al Qaieda and Islamic extremism. The reconciliation efforts described towards the end, at face value, aren't they worth pursuing?
The Fulani are the trans-Sahel cattle-raising ethnic group that contacted Islam first. The Doghan are a more ancient regional ethnic group that are the founders of Vodou that spread to the Guinean coast. Yet resources and individual gains are more of an issue than any ethnic, religious, or cultural differences.
Sadly Africa is full of smaller ethnic conflicts that are fed by outter influences. It starts with farmers kills cattle herders because cows eat the crops. And the later retaliating. Then one looking for help from a bigger badder group or forming a rebellion because they feel their voice isn't heard by the state. Different people..different times... Same story from the dawn of ages. May Africa some day find peace.
That foreign aid won't help? Im pretty sure Afghanistan right now during the US and NATO pullout proves that a billion times wrong. Constant atrocities and the Taliban taking over multiple districts a day. Sooo... Same as Afghanistan, with some money and some troops, foreign powers can help save lives and protect a nation from collapse and civil war, with even more human rights violations and oppressive regimes like the Taliban or Islamist state taking over.

If the people in charge were fair and just would that solve the problems? Why is there a jihad in the first place? Did the Dogon and Fulani have serious differences already before the jihad? Was France stealing from the people of Mali? Will the Russians (and Chinese?) be able to bring more justice to all the Malians? And, if so, will that solve the biggest problems of all Malians?

The only way to prevent extremism in religion is education if everyone have acces to decent education people will be more productive and know more about other cultures and religions

@@Jon-jd2vc France has no interests in controlling Mali, they are intent on stablilizing the country in order to stem off another wave of migrants to europe
@@Tullzter ...Which entails taking control of the country. If they truly wished to limit migration then they probably shouldn't have placed ethnic groups who hate each other in one country. It only results in instability and migration. They also should have actually developed their colonies instead of using them for resources and nothing else. France forced these artificial states to remain dependent on it during colonial times by buying their resources and selling them back as manufactured goods. This meant that the states never industrialized which is one of the reasons why underdevelopment within these countries still persists.
@@Jon-jd2vc It has been 60 years since France gave independance to her former african colonies. If they wanted to industrialize themselves they had enough time to do it. Former asian colonies didn't ask permission and did. But would you like to invest ur money in countries where the civil war can happen at any time ? Industrialization needs some funds.
I've been in Mali 7 year ago. Beautiful nature and rich in tribes and cultures. However, I think it would be good for North Mali to get independence. Like Sudan, the North-South differences are too great for a single country. South Sudan gained independence 10 years ago, can North Mali too?
NOOO, this is terrible. Sudan is Sudan, no north no south, just Sudan. It is because of wests greed for oil that the Country was split. As for Mali check this video out:krplus.net/bidio/ddqrmXpznoGRYqA&ab_channel=DWNews Malians don't like french, they want france out right now. It's about time the colonizers get out, french 10 years in mali and for what? for gold and raw materials. This is why Africans support Russia, The west is just trash
@@giragod9373 The stability and prosperity of a country depend on the population having a common vision of how the country should progress. Vastly different groups living together often do not agree on that regard. And these are not the "citizen of the world" types that are common in the West and could equally live in Germany or Canada. These are people with a strong sense of ethnic loyalty. In fact I think that tribalism is exacerbated by living in a multiethnic country. If the president belongs to a particular tribe and is corrupt, the other tribes will blame his whole tribe for the corruption. This is even stronger if there is inter-tribal crime or violence. Once a people has it's own country, like lets say Botswana, they end up facing problems on a more individual level and their tribalism will decrease. They will eventually collaborate with the neighbouring countries, like what you see in the European Union. Africa wants to have a similar union in the future. I think it would work better with smaller countries broken along major ethnic lines. I'm not saying to give a country to every little tribe, but some differences are giant. In Mali, northerners are semitic desert nomads, who have more in common with Arabs than with the Southern Mali African farmers, who have more in common with Senegal and Ivory Coast people. Maybe you struggle to understand identitarianism, but it's a major force that should not be messed around with... Cheers,
@@ViriatoII I get what you're saying, many sociological issue, tribalism, ethnicity etc. But what you don't understand is 'Ancient History' and 'Ancient Civilization' of those Countries. Mali had a great empire before the french colonizers. All ethnicities lived in harmony, they were all true Malians, if it happened before it can happen again, with good leadership and government of course. Same goes for Sudan, there was a great Ancient empire known as Taset, there were pharaohs and cities of literal gold, there are in 67 recorded tribes which shows you how many tribes wanted to be part of the great empire. 7 Founding tribes and the other 60 joined later on, even to this day, if you are not part of the 67 tribes in modern Sudan they don't see you as Sudanese. (South Sudanese are included in this since they were part of the great empire) Another thing is you need to look at things politically rather than sociological my guy. Also beware of fake news. Looking at how history affects modern day societies is very important, although modern problems are political, greed, corruption. Look at modern day Sudan, do you think they are protesting because of Chief Burhan's ethnicity? NO they are protesting cause ALL citizens want the military out. Even in Mali, the entire Country united cause they realized that the french are public enemy no.1
@@giragod9373 I don't know the history of Sudan so well but I know Mali was full of wars and slavery. Still nowadays each of these tribes has its own castes, including the slave castes. This social organization already existed before European arrival. Slaves, besides gold and cows, were the most valuable resource of the region. Slaves were obtained through war, and used domestically (for farming) but also sold first to Moroccans, then to Ottomans and then to Europeans. The Songhai empire reached high development, but it was marked by civil wars when the kings died. This because the kings always had many sons (from many wives) who would fight for the crown. It was after such a destructive civil war that the Moroccans invaded and destroyed the empire. African history is awesome and I think it should be more known. I don't think you should paint it in rose, it was bloody, but so was European and Chinese history This is a great documentary about the Songhai empire: krplus.net/bidio/d8qNhmZ-mnmmiqQ
Mali has been a failed state since its independence. This is because the Malian state lacks the capacity to rule such a large country ( roughly 1.2 million km^2). In the north of the country, there is a vast desert area called Azawad that has nothing in common with the south where the capital and most the population live. In the north, the Tuareg people have revolted 4 times since 1962. In 2012, they formed the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, which kicked out the Malian army and declared Azawad (north Mali) as an independent state. This declaration was unrecognized both regionally and globally. Along with the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, there were other so-called terrorist or jihadist groups, which were essentially supported by the intelligence agencies of neghibouring countries, particularly of Algeria, to prevent the Tuaregs from creating their own state and find an excuse for a military intervention in the country!
So, one criticism I have of the presentation style - because there are no voiceovers over foreign speakers, it makes programs like this incredibly hard to follow at a distance away from the screen. (e.g while cooking, babysitting, working out, etc). While I understand it as an artistic choice, because the words need to be translated anyway as subtitles for non-native speakers, any nuance or subtleties are already lost in translation. Because of this limitation, people who would otherwise be interested in the content are more likely to select something more digestible while multitasking.
When will the African continent achieve a peaceful and harmonious status?African Union and U.N must step in to aid the population and stabilized the situation in several countries in Africa
Leveling the continent is probably the only way to achieve peace there, too many opposing forces and nationalities... Kidding but for real i dont think Africa will ever be at peace
When Africa's massive population boom ends, which is somewhere after 2100, not something most of us will ever witness. The UN should pressure African nations into putting into effect 1 child policies or something in that category. this would also be in the best interest of African countries, They simply can't keep up with the population growth, which cause allot of poverty. And with poverty, comes violence and extemism. Only when African countries can get some breathing space and take care of their citizens, then the violence will end.
@@generalbaguette4539 Even one child policy is a disastrous for China. Because Chinese families traditionally preferred to have baby boy instead of girl, to carry their family name, they immediately aborted girls.. and more boys were born. It made unbalanced gender proportion where the population of male exceeding the female population. It creates another problem when single men of China eventually resort in human traffickings in other countries to have wife. Vietnam for example, reported many cases of China's nationals human trafficking.
@@generalbaguette4539 Now they implement Three Child Policy. Basically also worsening the China population problem and the world problem. With currently huge population, it creates so many problems domestically and abrlad. Imagine what would happen in the future.

The establishment of a Caliphate in Mali will destabilize the entire North African region and thus will impact France and Europe. So much money was poured in Mali since 2013 and Mali has very limited in resources and can’t even afford to pay salaries and weapons for their army, so French taxpayers pays for it . Unfortunately, many conspiracionist are thinking like you and France is actually leaving because French taxpayers are unhappy about how France effort is treated in return, mostly by conspirationist like you and in 20 years , you’ll hear that it’s France that destabilize the crountry and that France came to kill people. At this point, it becomes unnecessary for a France to protect Malian population if African leaders and conspirationist are creating an anti French sentiment which is obviously being exported to France since many African Islamist are starting to behead french people in french cities Just like in La Chapelle sur erdre in May. So , France will soon leave, the Arabs like Mokhtar Belmokhtar groups from the north will come back and will whip publicly naked black men and women, slaughter entire villages just like in 2013, the Arab caliphate with black slaves will be established and once again, France will be blamed for leaving. France will be blamed for staying and when France will leave, same blaming. Morocco is very unhappy about that but what can you do with ungrateful people? You can’t blame the French …

...Which entails taking control of the country. If they truly wished to limit migration then they probably shouldn't have placed ethnic groups who hate each other in one country. It only results in instability and migration.
They also should have actually developed their colonies instead of using them for resources and nothing else. France forced these artificial states to remain dependent on it during colonial times by buying their resources and selling them back as manufactured goods. This meant that the states never industrialized which is one of the reasons why underdevelopment within these countries still persists.
@@Jon-jd2vc It has been 60 years since France gave independance to her former african colonies. If they wanted to industrialize themselves they had enough time to do it.

I've been in Mali 7 year ago. Beautiful nature and rich in tribes and cultures.
However, I think it would be good for North Mali to get independence. Like Sudan, the North-South differences are too great for a single country. South Sudan gained independence 10 years ago, can North Mali too?
NOOO, this is terrible. Sudan is Sudan, no north no south, just Sudan. It is because of wests greed for oil that the Country was split. As for Mali check this video out:krplus.net/bidio/ddqrmXpznoGRYqA&ab_channel=DWNews Malians don't like french, they want france out right now. It's about time the colonizers get out, french 10 years in mali and for what? for gold and raw materials. This is why Africans support Russia, The west is just trash
For real tho, i don't get how people think that a country splitting is a good thing?
@@giragod9373 The stability and prosperity of a country depend on the population having a common vision of how the country should progress. Vastly different groups living together often do not agree on that regard.
And these are not the "citizen of the world" types that are common in the West and could equally live in Germany or Canada. These are people with a strong sense of ethnic loyalty. In fact I think that tribalism is exacerbated by living in a multiethnic country. If the president belongs to a particular tribe and is corrupt, the other tribes will blame his whole tribe for the corruption. This is even stronger if there is inter-tribal crime or violence. Once a people has it's own country, like lets say Botswana, they end up facing problems on a more individual level and their tribalism will decrease. They will eventually collaborate with the neighbouring countries, like what you see in the European Union. Africa wants to have a similar union in the future. I think it would work better with smaller countries broken along major ethnic lines. I'm not saying to give a country to every little tribe, but some differences are giant. In Mali, northerners are semitic desert nomads, who have more in common with Arabs than with the Southern Mali African farmers, who have more in common with Senegal and Ivory Coast people.
Maybe you struggle to understand identitarianism, but it's a major force that should not be messed around with...
Cheers,
@@ViriatoII I get what you're saying, many sociological issue, tribalism, ethnicity etc. But what you don't understand is 'Ancient History' and 'Ancient Civilization' of those Countries. Mali had a great empire before the french colonizers. All ethnicities lived in harmony, they were all true Malians, if it happened before it can happen again, with good leadership and government of course.
Same goes for Sudan, there was a great Ancient empire known as Taset, there were pharaohs and cities of literal gold, there are in 67 recorded tribes which shows you how many tribes wanted to be part of the great empire. 7 Founding tribes and the other 60 joined later on, even to this day, if you are not part of the 67 tribes in modern Sudan they don't see you as Sudanese. (South Sudanese are included in this since they were part of the great empire)
Another thing is you need to look at things politically rather than sociological my guy. Also beware of fake news. Looking at how history affects modern day societies is very important, although modern problems are political, greed, corruption. Look at modern day Sudan, do you think they are protesting because of Chief Burhan's ethnicity? NO they are protesting cause ALL citizens want the military out. Even in Mali, the entire Country united cause they realized that the french are public enemy no.1
@@giragod9373 I don't know the history of Sudan so well but I know Mali was full of wars and slavery. Still nowadays each of these tribes has its own castes, including the slave castes. This social organization already existed before European arrival. Slaves, besides gold and cows, were the most valuable resource of the region. Slaves were obtained through war, and used domestically (for farming) but also sold first to Moroccans, then to Ottomans and then to Europeans.
The Songhai empire reached high development, but it was marked by civil wars when the kings died. This because the kings always had many sons (from many wives) who would fight for the crown. It was after such a destructive civil war that the Moroccans invaded and destroyed the empire.
African history is awesome and I think it should be more known. I don't think you should paint it in rose, it was bloody, but so was European and Chinese history

Mali has been a failed state since its independence. This is because the Malian state lacks the capacity to rule such a large country ( roughly 1.2 million km^2). In the north of the country, there is a vast desert area called Azawad that has nothing in common with the south where the capital and most the population live. In the north, the Tuareg people have revolted 4 times since 1962. In 2012, they formed the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, which kicked out the Malian army and declared Azawad (north Mali) as an independent state. This declaration was unrecognized both regionally and globally. Along with the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, there were other so-called terrorist or jihadist groups, which were essentially supported by the intelligence agencies of neghibouring countries, particularly of Algeria, to prevent the Tuaregs from creating their own state and find an excuse for a military intervention in the country!
Corruption and culture played a massive big role

So, one criticism I have of the presentation style - because there are no voiceovers over foreign speakers, it makes programs like this incredibly hard to follow at a distance away from the screen. (e.g while cooking, babysitting, working out, etc).
While I understand it as an artistic choice, because the words need to be translated anyway as subtitles for non-native speakers, any nuance or subtleties are already lost in translation.
Because of this limitation, people who would otherwise be interested in the content are more likely to select something more digestible while multitasking.
