Abstract:	This is an exercise in contemporary history that aims to give a comprehensive background and analysis to the current (2012) political crisis in Mali, generated by the start of a new Tuareg nationalist uprising against the State, complemented by a coordinated attack on the State by both international, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), and local Jihadi-Salafi movements, leading to a coup d'état against the incumbent President Touré, and finally a political stalemate of great concern to the international community. By pooling sources and analysis, a group of eight scholars tries to give a comprehensive overall picture. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. in English and French. [Journal abstract]
