- Since January 2012, Mali has been facing a violent insurgency in the north of the country. But the soldiers on the front line have been growing bitter accusing their commanders of corruption by sending them to fight with little pay and insufficient equipment.
Some are even thinking of changing sides.
Their widows and families back home say they have been forgotten by the nation their men died for.
#BBCAfricaEye investigates the cycle of death, violence and corruption, and asks: is there no end in sight?

Bulletproof socks😂😂😂🤦
In Africa corruption has killed more people than civil war 😭 war is about young men dead while the government are building big mansion their families with the soldiers salaries 😔
Exactly the same situation in the Ukraine.
NEVER FIGHT FOR YOUR LEADER WHEN HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY ARE NOT FIGHTING ALONG WITH YOU. NEVER GIVE SECURITY AND PROTECTION TO YOUR LEADER IF YOU DON'T SEAT WITH YOUR LEADER AND EAT FOOD IN THE SAME GATHERINGS.
Very smart words...
This is why I didn’t go into the military in 2004 when I graduated. Bush had 2 daughters and neither were fighting and looking for weapons of mass destruction. They are my age.
I just want to give all those widows a big hug, I am so sorry that that’s what they’re dealing with and I doubt that it’s going to get fixed anytime soon but I hope it does.
Fuck your hugs, these wars continue because the white man benefits from a wartime africa.
@@mugimbaraymond2089 must you blame the whites every time when it’s glaring that we Africans especially our leaders are too greedy
@@adeniyiogidiolu3713 you’re too near sighted if you can’t see that white people benefit from a wartime africa, they get cheap minerals if the Congo is at war, they keep this bad leaders you talk about in power by giving them weapons and then turn around condemn them for human rights abuses. It’s hypocrisy. We can deal with those bad leaders after we cut off their supply.
Where can we meet so I can get my hug? I really need it now too
Mali in swahili means property...Malian generals are busy focused on acquiring Mali
Eeeeh Mungu asante kwa Amani ya nchi yangu 😢
Greed, corruption, self-enrichment, such evil, these people forget that when we die, we leave everything here and nobody takes anything to the grave!! Is it worth it?,
The country of Mansa Musa, heartbreaking
The junior soldiers need to get their act together and end this madness, its too painful.
You are not hiding their identities properly,..
True, anyone that knows the person can easily identify them
If you are soilder fighting in any African Army I sincerely pity you. There is no African country worth fighting for, our leaders are corrupt and your commanders will sell you out for a couple of thousands of dollars. Leave the army and let the politicians fight for the country. This is Mali but it might as well be my Country Nigeria or any other West African Nation.
When the corrupt aren't scared to show their corruption you know your country is doomed.
It's heartbreaking...I pray that God almighty continue to console these widows.
For such poor rebellious people, I wonder who's financing their guns and weapons
Russia and China
The US is keen to build a substantial military presence in Africa, citing the need to combat the growth of Al-Qaeda in Somalia, Algeria and other countries on the continent. They have a the secret US agenda behind the 'war on terror' in Africa and the shocking methods used to perpetuate the myth that the region is a hot-bed of Islamic terrorism....Where Jeremy Keenan said its NOT one JIHADIST he found NOT 1; Please don't let the Imperial powers take AFRICA SNEAKY America has 29 bases in AFRICA that's more than any other country HELL to the NAH
@@timboslyce1290 i dont see ur comment on nazi
@@25oxendine why would China do that. Stop saying stupid things. China wants to increase trade volume with Africa cause they know the potential of a higher income african population.
@@evano5635 "U.S. officials estimate that around 400 Russian mercenaries operating in the Central African Republic (CAR), and Moscow recently delivered military equipment to support counterinsurgency operations in northern Mozambique. Russia is the largest arms exporter to Africa, accounting for 39 percent of arms transfers to the region in 2013-2017.
Moscow’s influence in Bamako?
The fact that the Russian ambassador to Mali, Igor Gromyko, was one of the first officials to be received by the Junta is thus unsurprising. The local media aBamako.com reports that the military leaders of the coup had just spent a year training in Russia. While this kind of activity is not extraordinary, with countries such as the US training armies from more than 20 African countries and shaping its military leaders, it indicates that Russia considers its security presence in Africa necessary.

Awesome documentary! You all never disappoint!
So sad indeed
I'm malian...
And so sad about this situation 😩
Its sad indeed that there is so much hate over there, areas the size of countries with no morals.
I see Arab faces with jihad flags
I hope the Anti corrupt lawyer is being protected.. In such a scary situation he has the guts to speak up..has been beaten and threaten.. People in power know his a force to he reckoned with
Probably dead by now
Oh my gosh! So the situation is the same everywhere in Africa. I thought it was only Cameroon
This might be an exact story with Nigeria. Please we need to know the Nigerian story
Watch vice they made news about that
Fatou Greou is an inspiration. I hope that these women rise up and build a world for themselves that is more powerful than any man's fight.
Sad to hear this is going on in Mali.
Same thing happening in Nigeria 🇳🇬 sabotaging.
Only the Prince of Peace Isa can heal Mali
How can my help reach those widows
That's is my country ist's so very sad
imagine fighting with a box disguised as bullet proof...
I last travel to Mali 🇲🇱.Charlie the poverty over there is a nightmare 🙈🙈🙈.
tell me you are a Ghanaian without telling me you are a Ghanaian😂
@@sadiaosman904 You stole those words from my mouth 😂😂😂
Charlie😂😂
Also, why are the commanders sending soldiers to fight? What are they fighting exactly? This is so confusing...
fight terrorists..thats their job
Que Dieu nous aide.🙏🏾
Who is supplying the guns? Could it be the same person pretending to care?
One thing we all know is that no African country is allowed to manufacture or assemble guns.
The ole and the only one The USA
Guns don't kill people .. People do..
According to who??? It's no one's place to dictate to any African countries what they can or can't manufacture...Africans in these countries need to tell those people to go to hell with that..
Non existent bulletproof socks and fake bulletproof vest made with cardboard…..damn. Is it even possible to overcome all the corruption at this point?
Mali have always been warriors since their ancestors "Mali Empire"
Islam destroy their self belief,they turn their own people to be the enemy because of Islam, that's why nation fighting against it self will not stand.
@@watchingthehawks355 no bad people and colonizers destroyed them. One of their most famous guy mansa musa is Muslim he was peaceful
@@watchingthehawks355 everytime i read a youtube comment its some one like you always blaming Islam for something, what the hell does Islam have to do with it . Mali has been muslim for hundreds of years.
@@Provision600 Mali has been colonize by Arab religion, Islam is not Mali, the people of Mali do not create Islam.
@@watchingthehawks355 The French colonized Mali and destroyed their ancient manuscripts and documents.
The arabs never colonized them. The arabs taught them how to read and write. Mali was a rich place that thrived with Islam.
You people find every reason to blame religion, especially Islam. Islam is a 1,400 year old religion, terrorism is less than 100 years old. Use your logic. Think before you speak.
Looking at the thumbnail, at first I thought this was a documentary about Bring Back our forgotten Girls.
Nigerian police and Army are just a joke
These are happenings not only Africa (sarrow continent) also all over the world but the scenario little bit more or differ.
Why is only in our Africa the citizens are badly treated 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@Qakei Libya is in Africa 🌍. Don't put it together with Syria and Iran. Your opinion is respected though.
@@Qakei what's America doing with it citizens?
😢💔
Waiting
Mail with all that gold and minerals in ur country..this is really sad to see. Hate seeing the world like this..it hurt a real human heart.
Could there be a foreign hand involved? Yes. But how...???
Di manapun perang, korupsi, dan ketidakstabilan membuat rakyat sengsara. Lekas membaik
Also waiting
Why cant the muslims and christians just coexist together and everyone thrive. This is so sad fighting a war because of religious differences
Corruption is the biggest Evil.
It hurts to watch this. Africa is doomed. Corruption everywhere. Sad.
This is why i stay in the corner of my bed in my house...where it us safe!
Very heart-rending documentary...They keep overthrowing the presidents yet they are not any better... There's a big problem in Africa
..We need Europeans back to bring sanity in this Continent
💔💔😢killing your own soldiers for greediness shame on this evil 😈senior soldiers
tuer vos propres soldats par cupidité honte à ce mal soldats supérieurs
Don't forget that M ALI as a center of poverty is the place where
"MANSA MUSA"
the richest man in history was born, raised and lived
Yeah after stealing gold and was broke when he came back from mecca
Not the current Mali 🇲🇱 Mali was much bigger
Gave away all the riches, Who does that?
Richer than King Solomon?
@@randybridgeman5050
King Solomon is a joke,
even 400 million dollars can buy all he owned.
Don't be fooled by the Bible
Coup mastermind must be removed from the government role, including his corrupt army officers
The military has to go for those embezzling the money and combat bonuses
The curse of the bell curve is so great in Africa.
Its always Africa!😞😪
@@Qakei the main reason for all this is no morals. What do you expect when large areas still live in the time of jesus?
Can't the officers figure out that without soldiers they will get attacked?
They'd just switch sides at that point. The insurgents would happily take experienced officers plus all the intelligence information that would come with that.
But nothing is hidden for those individuals who asked for camera protection...you could easily figure out who they are.....
This is why I call you umi sangarei before keep on moving around the politician why can't she help the fallen heroes families whodied in name Mali.
It’s always the north region
The root problem is the foreign countries interest in the natural resources in this part of Africa, just as they do everywhere! this is what you see on the surface but the real problem is redirected by main stream medias such as this one
Qam YASHARALA!
The one question all this soldiers should ask the is who ever send them to war or to go to killer .... WHY sending other pple s sons to go fight if its that important than why leaders go to war with their sons tooo? But instead they stay samwere safe and comand .... dear yound man (soldier) you r being used . Who ever is sending you to war ( ur so called leaders) dont care about you their r using you.... they dnt care about ur parents who are crying day and night wen you die! Them ( your leaders) they hide their precious kids and make sure that they safe at all cost and you ( soldiers) your out there fighting and your family are at risk meaning your chance of dying is 💯 % and your family will be killed by the sme pple your fighting bcs who ever send you to war will never protect them as he protected his own family . So what are you fighting for ? If at the end you will die so as your pple.... the only person who will benefit is your leaders and their precious family and use to country resources for their own benefits... the reasons why ex soldiers who come back home disabled sent back to their homes without any support is because they uses less and leaders dnt care! Your parents will take over and care for you soldiers but they were not the one who send you to war!!!!!! Black men think !!!!!!!!!! If some ( so called leaders) one believe that war is the solution that thy should go do it alone and let him go to war with his sons so he will know the pain of losing a child !!!!
Bullet proof socks on the military invoice 😂😂😂😂, they are so corrupt🤯
What did you do when you were here
The eastern and the northern and Southern Africa are doing better than the WEST Africa, I don’t understand this logic.
Because the whole of Southern Africa is educated and they are Christians but they are not doing better economically and even politically for example Zimbabwe and Mozambique and then Zambia is being taken over by the Chinese but you’re right there’s no war so they are much better off
Because West Africa is destabilized by the French
@@gloriasarah9653 You're right.The Engliah speaking Countries like Ghana are more stable
@@mucha9196 Being Christian has nothing to do with it.East African countries with large muslim populations are Stable .Also majority muslim Countries in West Africa like Gambia, Senegal and Guinea Conarkry are stable.
You have to keep in mind that the French have a lot of control in their former colonies.
@@mareek2007 the countries you listed The Gambia Senegal and Guinea are not stable at all what the hell are you talking about
Bullet proof socks? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????
Africa 🤦🏾♂️😢
It will end soon,
Africa wake up Unite
Africa's problem is government workers keep taking the money for their selves. They build nice homes in quiet parts of Africa or move to Europe or U.S and leave their own people hungry.
This situation is shameful and unacceptable. The new president has the duty to do something better for all this brave soldiers who are dying to free their country from the djihadists
The African are fighting against each other, o lord av mercy
France should leave that region of Africa alone. It is the one that is causing the unsettling in that part of Africa. It's army should leave Africa and go to their country
This same method in Nigeria political and military service against Christian soldiers sent to fight insurgents.
Nonsense, the government knows what is happening period
what do you call someone with Mali citizenship
malian
Hello. We need to pray for each other. From the word of God to us: (Iz 9)2 The people that walked in darkness saw a great light, and on those who dwelt in the region of the shadow of death light shone.
6 For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us, and the government is upon his shoulders, and his name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. God has not left us orphans. He sent us Jesus the Savior. There is hope. Cry for Christ and he will help you. We need to turn to God with a humble heart of obedience. Jesus will soon return. Pray. Read the Bible. You are loved by God. Greetings.From Brasil. 🌷
I don't understand why they killing the Fulani... I also peeped that the jihadists are Fulani. This really does not make sense to me.
Military possibly think all Fulanis are involved in jihad
@@hassynalaila6249 Really? I shouldn’t be surprised to be honest
BBC shame on you. There are NO POSITIVE AFRICAN STORIES??? WHY NOT SHARE YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S WOES. This is ALL YOU FOCUS ON!??
Hi my name is sahr I see
Make no mistake,the fact that the French&other powers have been in Mali since 2011 cannot be ignored for anyone who knows the modus operandi of the nomads,who armes and trains the jihadis,how can they be so elusive with all the drones,the satellite,the spies on the ground... The North of Mali is full of oil,gold... Follow the resources in the ground and u'll understand part of the story,the other part r the Saudis, Qataris,Emirates... Who foot the bill while the French train an already religiously endoctrinated by the Arabs.
With the red zone Sahel region boiling in blood, one wonders what will become the fate of the neighbouring countries, particularly Nigeria, the hub of African countries in terms of human capacity and resources.
TIDAK ADA PERANG DI SELURUH WILAYAH AFRIKA.
SELURUH WILAYAH AFRIKA HARUS DAN WAJIB AMAN, TENTRAM, DAN DAMAI.
Such a Rich resource Country, poverty is visible everywhere. The name Mali, means Riches. Why kill your own citizens for foreign hungry resource States.
Les soldats maliens tombés
THOSE ATTACKERS AT BEGINNING LOOK LIBIYAN
🙄🙄🙄
Keep in mind that that video in the beginning could be a propaganda video to make it seem like those attackers could be from Libya or another country to create tension.
A number of them are. Many are also fulani. They were speaking fulani

Look xat the outdated armory our people have to defend themselves, the jihadist are back by wealthy islamic countries, as an African American male , it sickens me to see my people slaughter eachother in the names of RELIGIONS that are foreign and false in , our ancestors had it right before we WERE brainwashed into buying in to Religion, which is man made, we had spirituality that was GOD given, i suggest we return to our traditional spiritual beliefs, this situation is terrible and will not improve, especially with the us and europe involvement in looting the country natural resources.
