WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Mali’s military leader has sacked the Prime Minister, Choguel Kokalla Maïga, and his government. It follows rare criticism by Maïga of the junta’s lack of clarity about a once-promised return to democracy. A decree read on state television by junta leader Col Assimi Goïta said the duties of the prime minister and the members of the government were “terminated”. Mali has suffered years of jihadist and separatist violence – resulting in military coups in 2020 and 2021. The junta had promised to hold elections and hand back power to civilians by March 2024, but subsequently postponed the vote. Source:BBC
