Mali and u.n. intervention

An attack in Mali on Thursday, resulting in over a dozen deaths has been blamed on a feud or inter-ethnic violence. There has been a war in Mali since 2013. Minusma, the united nations multi-dimensional integrated stabilizing mission in Mali, has been a presence from about the same time. Attacks have been blamed on religious extremism according to some but others have described the conflict as a war for independence. Mali is believed to be the third largest producer of gold on the African continent. In spite of a minusma presence in Mali reportedly for over six years, there is believed to be little or no services now, particularly in the north.
Various linked agreements are cited by u.n. contingents. Sanctions are documented as a consequence if unspecified terms of the agreement are not met. The agreement claims to be the only pathway to peace.
A study on intervention outlines the criteria for intervention decisions as follows: *Entrepeuners are believed to play a role who often benefit disproportionately.
*According to some it is the would be entrepeuners who reportedly create a narrative for military intervention and sell it to the media.
*A key strategy in the interest of ambiguity is the lobbying of heads of state to support the intervention policy, and key roles.
