Headlines: the military is tightening its grip

“While the war against the jihadists in the north and in the center of Mali is still far from winning, the military once again intervened in the political game in Bamako. notes Le Monde Africa. On August 18, 2020, the same group of five colonels, already led by Assimi Goïta, forced President IBK to resign. Nine months later, the scenario was repeated with the interim president. The story seems to stem and the international community worries, warns, condemns, but remains embarrassed, still pointing to Le Monde Afrique. Yesterday, Emmanuel Macron threatened to withdraw the soldiers from the Barkhane force. At the same time, after a four-hour meeting in Ghana, the Heads of State of West Africa are shutting Mali off their bodies and calling for the appointment of a civilian Prime Minister, but without imposing sanctions. ”

Work to perform…

The Malian press, on the other hand, is on guard …

So for Maliweb“Colonel Assimi Goïta must take swift action to strengthen the confidence he has in the majority of Malian people. After meetings with the political class, civil society, religious leaders, he must appoint the prime minister, as he assured him, and enter into a sincere and sincere dialogue with the disgruntled political chapels to create a unified dynamism to deter all hostility to Mali’s cause. Because the country, by letting go of rumors of internal disagreements, will give its side to sanctions, to pressures that can facilitate its total destabilization. (…) The President of the Transition has his work for him, Maliweb continues and must surround himself with experienced advisers to meet the challenge of surviving the Malian nation, more than tested. ”

Choguel Maïga Prime Minister?

The new Prime Minister could come from the M5-RFP movement, the same one that was at the forefront of the protest against IBK. In the person of Choguel Maïga, the leader of this movement. For Maliweb, “His perseverance in defending the ideals of the June 5 movement, his self-gift, and especially his fox style that allows him to detect crazy shots, has made him the” man of all regimes “(as he is sometimes called) ideal candidate for the post of Prime Minister. “

M5-RFP too close to the Islamists?

So, wondering today in Ouagadougou“Is it this opportunity that got the French president out of his hinges by threatening to withdraw the 5,200 men from Barkhane?” There is undoubtedly first and foremost the coup itself (…). But there is another fact that seems to irritate Jupiter: the proximity to the M5-RFP, which is said to be shrouded in Islamism, with the sheriff of Niono and Imam Dicko. “

And today to wonder again: “With this door open by ECOWAS and this threat from Macron, how far will Assimi Goïta go?” How does he plan to hold on? Will he retain the likely appointment of Choguel Maïga? What relationship does he intend to create with M5-RFP? ”

Macron feverish?

Finally, Ledjely in Guinea does not mock his words against Emmanuel Macron … ”Iranianized by the possible loss of the Malian lock and beyond the entire Sahel region and noting his powerlessness to influence events, Emmanuel Macron comes to complete threats. (…) So ridiculous! “Guinean website announces. “Above all, who would have thought that the great France would resort to this kind of process? (…) He who just a few weeks ago called Deby’s son in Sahel’s security, is now threatening to withdraw his troops from the same area. This is not consistent, says Ledjely again. But this reaction reveals above all the fact, the Guinean website concludes, that France is not sufficiently equipped to meet the competition that other powers promise to impose on it on the African continent. “
