Czechoslovak security advisers in Mali in the years 1960–1964 (study and selected documents)

Summary/Abstract: The work of Czechoslovak security advisers in Mali in the years 1960–1964 was part of the rivalry between the East and West over political influence in newly established African states. Czechoslovak security advisers proposed and helped introduce a new system of organization for Malian security. They arranged and, together with lecturers invited from Czechoslovakia, conducted short-term courses in Mali on counterintelligence, intelligence techniques and technology, eavesdropping, ciphering, criminology, cynology, pyrotechnics, and protecting government officials. Malian security officers also completed months-long state-security courses in Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak advisers also consulted on the operational activity of Malian security and participated in intelligence activities for Czechoslovak intelligence.
