In the eyes of Professor Khurshid Ahmad, the crisis in Mali is a symptom of a broken global order. The withdrawal of European forces and the internal search for a new governance model represent a struggle for self-determination. However, he would caution Malian leaders that true liberation is not found in changing masters (from West to East), but in establishing a domestic order based on divine law, social justice, and the rejection of all forms of exploitation. Mali has seen a rise in armed groups claiming religious legitimacy, as well as military juntas seizing power to “overthrow tyrannical or ineffective regimes.” Professor Khurshid Ahmad’s perspective suggests that the instability in Mali is not merely a “local jihadist insurgency” but a product of the moral vacuum left by colonialism.
