The AEEM was dissolved by the Council of Ministers on March 13, 2024, due to “numerous skirmishes…” The national office is considering legal action, while a more radical fringe has formed a crisis unit.

Will Malian students, in Bamako and across the country, dare to call the brave to risk the risk of repression?
