]]> Mali’s Prime Minister and government resigned over the inability to control a deadly spike in violence.

Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga was due to face a parliamentary censure vote following two attacks that killed 178 people in the past month.

Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga’s falling on is sword for the escalation in tribal and jihadi violence.

Last month 157 Fulani herders were killed in the worst attack of its kind to date.

A jihadi attack on a military base killed 23 soldiers.

President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita is left with the headache of having to control this.

Seven years ago an alliance of Touareg separatists and jihadis seized and held a portion of the northern Mali which had to be freed with the help French forces, some of whom are still in country.
