A moral economy of pastoralists? Understanding the 'jihadist' insurgency in Mali
In this article, we aim to understand the processes behind the recent jihadist uprising against the state in Mali. We use the analytical lens of ‘moral economy’ to see the values and ethics at stake among individuals who decided to join the jihadist rebellion. We combine this lens with a political ecology approach returning to the field's roots at the interface with peasant studies with a focus on moral economy and land dispossession. Widespread …
Jihadist Ideological Conflict and Local Governance in Mali
In West Africa’s Sahel region, franchises of global jihadist groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda proliferate. So far, the dynamics of jihadist groups in the Sahel have predominantly been studied through analyses of the material and strategic dimensions of the struggle. Curiously, little attention has paid to how religiously-informed worldviews inform their expansion. Drawing on the concept of “epistemic worldviews”, this article explores how l…
Stratégies des acteurs et gouvernance des écosystèmes face aux plantes envahissantes dans le Delta du fleuve Sénégal
Le barrage de Diama et les ouvrages hydrauliques (réalimentation gravitaire des marigots naturels, franchissement hydraulique, digues latérales dans les rives gauche et droite) qui le complètent ont modifié fondamentalement les effets naturels sur les écosystèmes de la double hydrodynamique fluviale et maritime. Les dynamiques liées au barrage comme la prolifération de plantes aquatiques, l’accélération des processus érosifs du littoral et l’appa…
Fulani-Dogon Killings in Mali
Violent clashes between Fulani and Dogon have recently escalated in the Seeno plains in central Mali. After failing to defeat a “jihadist” insurgency dominated by Fulani, the Malian army has sponsored and trained a Dogon militia, which has systematically attacked Fulani villages, and again caused counterattacks. In addition, internal conflicts within Fulani and Dogon society have emerged. This demonstrates the complexities of the current crisis i…
Why do pastoralists in Mali join jihadist groups? A political ecological explanation
Since 2015 jihadist groups have taken control of the Mopti region in central Mali. We ask how such a radical development has been possible in a country previously praised as a bulwark against radical Islam in Africa. While the dominant literature on the crisis in Mali has focused on how global political economic developments and international jihadist thinking and organisation relate to national dynamics, we take a materialist political ecology a…
High prevalence of dental caries among HIV‐infected children in W est A frica compared to uninfected siblings
Although preventable, the burden of dental disease was high in children from families affected by HIV in West Africa and was associated with HIV infection and immunosuppression
Farmer-herder conflicts, pastoral marginalisation and corruption
This study aims to explain a farmer-herder conflict in the inland Niger delta of Mali. We focus on the interests and motivations of the actors involved in the conflict and the rent seeking of the local administration in handling the conflict. Since independence, the customary pastoral leaders (the jowros) have gradually lost power and wealth to the benefit of previously underprivileged farmers (the rimaybé). We argue that this process is mainly t…
