Summary/Abstract: Based on the analysis of the armed conflict in Mali, it can be concluded that terroristorganizations, despite differences, are able to cooperate with each other very well andthreaten the existence of entire countries. Negotiating with terrorists only strengthenstheir sense of power.Regional international organizations, such as ECOWAS, without real armed forces,ready for immediate use, are useless in quickly and effectively solving armed conflicts.Also the UN is not a very effective organization in solving armed conflicts, it onlyprovides the legal basis for the effective use of troops by other states. In Africa, the fearof military attacks is causing African countries' reluctance to strengthen the armedforces, which leads to the inability to deal with challenges such as the conflict in Malion their own. The use of mobile maneuvering units, using air support and reconnaissanceinformation, gives excellent results in the fight against terrorist organizations.
