Abstract

ABSTRACT Violent clashes between Fulani and Dogon have recently escalated in the Seeno plains in central Mali. After failing to defeat a “jihadist” insurgency dominated by Fulani, the Malian army has sponsored and trained a Dogon militia, which has systematically attacked Fulani villages, and again caused counterattacks. In addition, internal conflicts within Fulani and Dogon society have emerged. This demonstrates the complexities of the current crisis in Mali and how simplistic narratives about its causes are unhelpful. It also shows how views of the enemy as “terrorists” or “jihadists” are dangerous and able to further fuel violent conflicts.
马里的富拉尼-多贡人杀戮:农牧民冲突作为叛乱与反叛乱
摘要富拉尼和多贡之间的暴力冲突最近在马里中部的Seeno平原升级。在未能击败富拉尼主导的“圣战者”叛乱之后,马里军队赞助并训练了一支多贡民兵,该民兵系统地袭击了富拉尼的村庄,并再次发动反击。此外,富拉尼和多贡社会内部也出现了冲突。这表明了马里当前危机的复杂性,以及对其原因的简单叙述是多么无益。它还表明,将敌人视为“恐怖分子”或“圣战分子”是多么危险,并能够进一步加剧暴力冲突。
