In one year, Mali went from unranked on Open Door's list of the top fifty worst persecutors of Christians to number 7. The collapse of the government and the takeover of Islamic extremists is the reason for this drastic change. When the extremists took over, Christians living in northern Mali were driven south by increased persecution. As the Islamists pushed south, many Christians feared having to leave Mali to survive. Several weeks ago, France decided to intervene in the conflict and has since pushed back the extremists. Many Christians are praising the French for their recent military success.
