The ruling military council in Mali announced that it has once again allowed political parties and associations to carry out their activities after banning them for months.
This decision came at the conclusion of a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday evening, where the government stated that “it was decided to lift the suspension procedure imposed on political parties and the political activities of associations.”
The Military Council had issued a decision on April 10 to suspend the activities of parties and associations of a political nature “until further notice,” holding them responsible for “acts of sabotage” in the country.
Mali has been facing armed activities and separatist attempts for years, and since 2012 the country has been plunged into a deep, multidimensional crisis.
It is noteworthy that the current military council, after taking control of power in 2020, cut its alliances with France and its European partners, accusing them of interfering in the country’s affairs and practicing a colonial policy, in exchange for strengthening military and political relations with Russia, based on dialogue and mutual benefit.
