Appointed Prime Minister of Mali on Sunday, Moctar Ouane was received on Monday by the president and the first interim vice-president, and he began consultations with a view to forming a government. Its aim is to put together a team of women and men with different backgrounds, a government with national unity, by also offering positions to armed groups involved in the peace process.
Discussions are being held in Kati, near Bamako, and the soon-to-be-disbanded junta, but also in the office of the President of the Transition and in the office of the Prime Minister Prime Minister Moctar Ouane draws the architecture for the future government team.
According to our information, the expected government will consist of soldiers and civilians with a distribution key. It is not at all impossible that in sovereign positions we will find the military author of the last coup.
M5 the big loser?
The armed groups in the north are involved in the peace process. Coordination of movements in Azawad (CMA), the previous uprising, for example, is awaiting clarification of the number of portfolios before giving its final agreement. Relatives of Imam Mamoud Dicko who remain influential are expected to head certain ministerial departments.
Will we in the next government, which in principle must not exceed 25 members, make room for the M5, the protest movement that contributed to the fall of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta? Until Tuesday at 19 (UT) the M5 had not been formally heard. It’s a bit of the big loser of the postal coup. For the primate, the motley movement had suggested fourteen names. All were rejected by the military.
