"The duties of the prime minister and the members of the government are terminated,” said a decree issued by Col. Assimi Goita and read out by Alfousseyni Diawara, the presidency’s secretary general, on ORTM state television.

In June 2022, the military-led government pledged to hold elections and hand power back to civilians by the end of March 2024, but then postponed the vote indefinitely.


Since 2012, Mali has been plunged into a political and security crisis, fueled by attacks by various armed groups, including terrorists and separatists.
