2012~2013 Mali Crisis and Its Future Prospects

n March 22, 2012, the 
Malian government led by 
President Amadou Toumani 
Toure was overthrown in a 
military coup, led by Capt. 
Amadou Hay Sanogo. Meanwhile, the 
National Movement for the Liberation 
of Azawad (MNLA), which demanded 
independence discontent with 
discrimination based on ethnicity and 
marginalization, took over the Sahel 
region in northern Mali and proclaimed 
independence in conjunction with 
Islamist extremists based in the Maghreb 
region. By then, the French government 
had avoided directly getting involved in 
the crisis in Mali—under the mutual 
defense pact of the Entente Agreement 
of 1959 between France and Mali—and 
just observed the situation, while trying 
to mediate a peace treaty through behindthe-scenes
negotiation with the MNLA 
by acknowledging the establishment of 
the Touareg government. 
The Malian government is 
scheduled to hold the presidential 
election on July 28, 2013. Nonetheless, it 
is yet unclear if the election could serve 
as a catalyst for realizing national unity 
and reconstruction, considering that 
there is still a long way to go before 
completing the process of reconciliation 
and negotiation with Touaregs, who are 
practically now controlling the northern 
city of Kidal. Local people are left in 
desperate situation: refugees were 
generated by insurgents and counterterrorism
battles, and the north has been
seriously devastated since the crisis broke 
out. In this context, first of all, 
humanitarian assistance (including food, 
water, and fuel) should be provided 
immediately. As a responsible member of 
the international community, Korea―to 
match its desire to be reckoned as a 
middle-power, and status as a nonstanding
member of the UN Security 
Council―should be willing to contribute 
to building peace and sharing the pain of 
a country on the other side of the world.
