Mali’s junta suspends political party activities until further notice
Mali’s junta has issued a decree halting political party activities, government spokesperson Abdoulaye Maiga announced in a statement read on state television on Wednesday evening.
The decree suspends until further notice all activities by political parties and “associations of a political nature” on the grounds of maintaining public order, the statement said.
Mali has been under military rule since August 2020, the first of eight coups in West and Central Africa over four years, including in its neighbours Burkina Faso and Niger.
