Mali: EASO Country of Origin Information Report. Country Focus

In a country focus report, EASO aims to provide information focusing on selected topics of particular relevance for international protection status determination (refugee status and subsidiary protection), in this case for Malian applicants. It is not meant to be a general description of the human rights situation in the country, nor a comprehensive overview of all topics at stake in international protection status determination.

This report is divided into three main chapters: the first provides general background information on topics like geography, population, religion or political history, and includes an overview of the main actors in the crisis in northern Mali, as well as an overview of the current political situation in the country. The second chapter describes Mali’s state structure, including its administration, judiciary, and security forces. The last chapter is dedicated to the country’s security situation in the southern regions, namely Kayes, Koulikoro, Ségou and Sikasso.

Cisjordanie. Situation sécuritaire

06 August 2018

Les violences issues des tensions survenues à Jérusalem en octobre 2015 se sont « notablement espacées » selon Le Monde, avant de se réactiver au mois de juillet 2017, lorsque les autorités israéliennes ont installé des portiques de sécurité filtrant l’accès à l’esplanade des Mosquées à Jérusalem, suite à l’assassinat de deux policiers druzes le 14 juillet dans la vieille ville. Après dix jours de crise, le Premier ministre israélien a décidé de retirer les détecteurs de métaux. Selon le Centre israélien Meir Amit, la situation s’est normalisée à la fin du mois de juillet 2017.
