• In the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) that began in 2013, the UN enacted an unprecedented increase in its intelligence capacity. While some political as well as military leaders believe that the ASIFU might be part of future UN peacekeeping operations, others warn that it might be controversial at best and could potentially intensify the divide among military, development, and humanitarian personnel. The goal here is to review how ASIFU was organized within the overall MINUSMA framework and assess how its intelligence operation has worked out in practice.
