He also led the coup last August, which saw the elected President Ibrahim Boubacar Ke\u00efta forced out of office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Col Go\u00efta has now promised that a new prime minister will be appointed within days, and that elections will still go ahead next year as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Mali so unstable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mali is a vast, landlocked former French colony, and large areas are poor and underdeveloped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coup in 2012 led to militant Islamists exploiting the chaos and seizing the north of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French troops helped regain territory, but attacks have continued as the insurgents have capitalised on the persistent political instability in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has all led to public confidence waning over the army leaders' ability to tackle the Islamist insurgency that has spilled into neighbouring Burkina Faso and Niger.<\/p>\n","post_title":"France suspends military ties with Mali over coup","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"france-suspends-military-ties-with-mali-over-coup","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-02 08:35:43","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-02 08:35:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dctransparency.com\/?p=5391","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":41},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
