Tóm tắt:On 25 June 2016, a violent clash broke out between the villages of Mougna and Kossouma (Djenné, Mali), leaving 20 dead and 40 injured. While no “Jihadists” were directly involved, this was part of a process of outbreaks of armed land conflicts that spiralled in the wake of the 2012 rebellion.

This article analyses how violence becomes public policy by leveraging ethnic and religious repertoires, including “Jihadism”, in land conflicts.
