Gender inequalities are also present at all social levels and help create or exacerbate tensions between different social groups. In addition to the social tensions, the security situation in Mali is precarious due to the presence of non-state armed groups.
The conflict analysis was carried out to take stock of the current situation regarding conflicts over natural [...]
