and the offensive of the Tuareg and the Islamists in December
2012. The genesis of this conflict has really deep roots, and to
understand their profile geo-political and ethno-cultural it is
necessary to retrace the precipitating events that occurred many

remains a war, difficult to document because of the logistics of
the clashes and therefore the geographical location, the clashes
in fact, occur in sporadic random attacks on the vast Malian
territory.
