Case study of Mali

From stable democracy to coup détat - complacency of donors - underestimation of Touareg issue - grievances could have been addressed - but aid can only pay a supporting role - key: inequalities - weak institutions - aid not good at addressing strategic issues.. - only 10% speak French, the language spoken in parliament - MDG campaign slow on literacy - why no road built to Touareg region - despite 6 billion dollars of foreign aid in last 20 years. Malians want democracy. Aid needs to be decentralised. Lack of investment in executive accountability.
