Mali: Extending the Transition Period, Unspoken Goal of the Government
The national phase of inter-Malian dialogue, set to wrap up proceedings, will take place in Bamako from May 6 to May 10, 2024. This dialogue is portrayed by Malian authorities as a domestic substitute for the 2015 peace agreement, struck with Northern rebel groups. Yet, the organization of this dialogue - from which Malian rebel or jihadist groups are excluded - appears to gradually unveil another aim: the extension of the transition period.
