Video interviews with members of The Deportees’ Malian Association

Interviews by Clara Lecadet

The Deportees’ Malian Association [Association Malienne des Expulsés] was founded in 1996 in Bamako, Mali. It is a pioneering initiative of self-organization of migrants after deportation, aimed at creating the conditions for social bonding and solidarity in a moment marked by abandonment and absence of institutions. The Deportees’ Malian Association has helped to force the disqualified figure of the deportee into the public debate and to give him/her the status of a political actor. This process of politicization of deportation’s stakes was initiated through the organization of public forums allowing deportees to speak for themselves, the mediatization of the abuses and tragedies inherent in the deportation system, and campaigns against the signing of readmission agreements intended to facilitate the expulsion of Malian nationals. In this series of interviews, Lamine Diakité, Ousmane Diarra, Mariama Kémé, Mamadou Konaté, Bassékou Sibi, Souad Touré, return to the history of the association and its daily working.
