J. Peter Pham Analyzes Mali Crises in Brenthurst Briefing
June 28, 2012
In “Bamako Bind,” an article published in the June issue of Brenthurst Briefing, J. Peter Pham, director of the Atlantic Council’s Michael S. Ansari Africa Center, analyzes the political, security, and humanitarian crises which have left the West African country of Mali struggling for its very survival.
The piece examines the roots of the March 22 coup d’état which overthrew Mali’s elected government, the political impasse caused by the putsch, as well as the Tuareg secessionist movement in the north and its extremist Islamist allies.
Brenthurst Briefing, a monthly publication aimed at promoting a constructive dialogue on issues affecting economic growth and development across Africa, is published by the Johannesburg, South Africa-based Brenthurst Foundation. Founded in 2004 by the Oppenheimer family, the Foundation has the mandate to encourage key decision makers and experts to share experiences and insights at private meetings and seminars; deliver relevant, practical policy advice to governments; and generate new thinking and thought-leadership to address Africa's development challenges.
