LA INSEGURIDAD TERRORISTA EN MALI TERRORIST INSECURITY IN MALI. (Spanish)

Since 2008, the Republic of Mali has been suffering from insecurity due to risks posed by radical Islamic terrorists. Initially, the threat was concentrated in the northern territories by terrorist groups from the Magreb that were associated with insurgent Tuareg groups. Military combat operations succeeded in preventing the terrorists from advancing towards the south in 2013. In recent years, however, Islamic terrorists have been experimenting with new tactics to infiltrate the communities of central Mali; these threats have been more difficult to combat by military means alone. This article explores and characterizes terrorist insecurity in Mali and the actions taken between 2007 and 2019 to reduce it. The methodology consists of the bibliographic, documentary and statistical analyses of published information sources. The conclusions highlight the international nature of the terrorist risk and the need to add, intensive policies to develop rural Mali areas and strengthen its Welfare State, to the military fight against terrorism.

La República de Mali viene sufriendo inseguridad por riesgo terrorista de islamistas radicales desde 2008. Inicialmente la amenaza se concentró en los territorios del Norte, por grupos terroristas procedentes del Magreb que se asociaron con grupos Tuareg insurgentes. Operaciones de combate militar consiguieron impedir que los terroristas avanzasen hacia el Sur en 2013. No obstante, en los últimos años el terrorismo yihadista ensaya nuevas tácticas para infiltrarse en las comunidades del centro de Mali que resultan más difíciles de combatir únicamente por medios militares. Este artículo explora y caracteriza la inseguridad terrorista en Mali y de las actuaciones para reducirla entre 2007 y 2019. La metodología consiste en el análisis bibliográfico, documental y estadístico de fuentes de información publicadas. Las conclusiones destacan el carácter internacional del riesgo terrorista y la necesidad de sumar, políticas intensivas para desarrollar el Mali rural y fortalecer su Estado del Bienestar, al combate militar del terrorismo.
