Abstract

Mali had witnessed recurrent armed rebellion since 1962, especially in the North. The 2012 rebellion led to loss of its northern territory, mainly due to catch of loose arms owing to state failure in Libya. However, a new peace process had begun. The paper examined the conflict management strategies deployed and its effectiveness. The root causes of conflicts in Mali lies in decades of unresolved grievances in the Northern territory, exacerbated by neglect by the central government. It is rooted in long-standing structural conditions e.g., feeble state institutions; ineffective governance; fragile social cohesion; deep-seated animosity due to political and economic exclusion. The conflict management strategies have been effective; based on its outputs leading to significant pathways towards political stability such as: bringing all actors to the negotiation table, brokering 2015 Peace Agreement, completion of a more representative political transition process, among others. These efforts are paramount to lowering the mistrust.
