The "Intervention in Mali" refers to military actions taken to address the conflict that erupted in northern Mali in 2012. This conflict involved various armed groups, including Tuareg rebels and Islamist militants, who sought to gain control over the region. The situation prompted international concern, leading to the intervention of France in January 2013, aimed at restoring stability and supporting the Malian government. The intervention was supported by the United Nations and other international partners, resulting in the deployment of peacekeeping forces. The operation successfully pushed back the militants and helped to re-establish government authority in the affected areas, although challenges remain in achieving long-term peace and security.
