The junta in Mali has taken a new turn in recent days, which resulted in the suspension of political parties and associations and a ban on the media from monitoring their activities.

The restrictions come after the military failed to meet its commitments to hold presidential elections in February before relenting.

Since 2012, Mali has been burdened by the spread of jihadists and a serious crisis, not only security, but also political and humanitarian.

The colonels who took power by force in 2020 carried out a strategic reorientation, breaking the old alliance with France and turning militarily and politically to Russia.
