Political instability and transition in Mali

Overview

Mali continues to navigate a prolonged transitional period following the 2020 military coup that ousted President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta. Led by Colonel Assimi Goïta, the transition has introduced a new constitution and structural changes to the nation’s security framework and political alliances.

While there have been noted shifts in the operational capacity of terrorist groups, security remains a primary concern. The process of returning to elected civilian rule has faced repeated delays, with the timeline for national elections remaining unresolved despite previous sanctions from ECOWAS. The transitional council continues to exercise legislative powers, and the path toward presidential elections remains uncertain.
