Junta Consolidates Power: General Maïga Named Mali’s New Prime Minister

Mali’s ruling military junta has appointed a new prime minister, General Abdoulaye Maïga, further consolidating power in the hands of the military. This move comes after the dismissal of civilian Prime Minister Choguel Maïga, who openly criticized the regime for delaying presidential elections originally scheduled for 2024.

General Maïga, 43, has held key roles under the junta, including minister of territorial administration and government spokesperson. Analysts believe his close ties to military leader General Assimi Goïta played a significant role in his selection. This appointment places all three branches of Mali’s transitional government under military control.

The military has governed Mali since seizing power in a 2020 coup, followed by a second coup in 2021. The junta’s actions have raised concerns about the country’s democratic future. Civilian Prime Minister Choguel Maïga’s dismissal was announced in a presidential decree, citing no reason. However, his criticism of the junta’s election delay is believed to be the motive.

General Maïga is known for his strong rhetoric, particularly against France and the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali. His appointment has sparked concerns about the military’s tightening grip on power. The junta has restricted freedom of expression, arresting over a dozen politicians and activists who spoke out against them.

Mali’s transitional government now faces increased scrutiny as the country prepares for potential elections next year. The international community watches closely, concerned about the implications of military control on the country’s democratic institutions. General Maïga’s loyalty to General Goïta is expected to shape Mali’s political landscape in the coming months.

The country’s future remains uncertain, with many questioning the military’s intentions. As General Maïga takes office, Mali’s people await clarity on the electoral process and the military’s plans for the country’s transition to democracy.
