Mali’s Junta Faces Backlash Over Political Activity Suspension and Media Ban”

Mali’s ruling junta has faced swift condemnation from political parties, civil society groups, and press watchdogs after ordering the suspension of political activities and imposing a ban on media reporting.

The president of the African Social Democratic Party (PSDA), Ismael Sacko, labeled the junta’s actions as unconstitutional, promising to lead protests against the decision.

In a similar vein, the coordinator of the 20 February Appeal to Save Mali coalition criticized the move and called for civil resistance in response.

The House of the Press of Mali expressed alarm over the media regulator’s directive to cease reporting on political activities, urging media outlets to defy the order.

The High Authority of Communication (HAC) had instructed media organizations to halt coverage of political parties and associations following the junta’s decree to suspend political activities indefinitely for public order reasons.

Since seizing power in 2020, the junta has increasingly restricted critical reporting on Mali’s political transition and security challenges.

With over 80 political parties and civil groups demanding prompt presidential elections and an end to military rule, Mali remains mired in political turmoil and escalating militant insurgencies, notably linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.
