After the 2012 coup against the Malian government and the subsequent election of a new president, in June 2015 Mali signed a peace agreement to bring stability to the country. However, peacebuilding has been difficult to achieve. The Malian army is ineffective. Armed non-governmental groups have not been brought into the peace process. Frequently, violence between armed state and non-state actors has escalated and heightened conflicts between ethnic groups, often leading to a cycle of violent attacks and counterattacks.
