Malia’s constitutional court, which on Friday declared Colonel Assimi Goïta head of state and interim president to bring civilians back to power, indicates a court ruling completing the second coup led by an officer and the military in nine months.
The ruling of the Malian Constitutional Court states that the Vice-President of the Supreme Court, Colonel Goïta, “exercises the President, attributes and powers of the Transition to lead the transition process to its conclusion”, and that he will carry out “The title of President of the Transition, Head of State”. The Constitutional Court arrives there after noting the “vacancy of the presidency” in succession to the resignation of former President of the transition, Bah N’Daw.

“We have all acted in the interest of the nation’s highest interest,” assured Colonel Goïta. “The impossible is kept to a minimum. We had to choose between Mali’s stability and chaos. We chose stability. “coalition, we must join hands to protect the nation’s highest interest. We have no other choice.”
Assimi Goïta then proposed to appoint as a Prime Minister a member of the M5, the protest movement that participated in the case of former President IBK. In the meeting room, the proposal made people crawl. The political parties are against his proposal. “We do not agree, we believe it was necessary to consult and propose a neutral prime minister. The M5 has no legitimacy to lead the government today, “said Modibo Soumaré, president of the Union of Patriotic Republicans.
