It's done

The Prime Minister of the transition is known.

He is neither from the M5-RFP nor from the former presidential majority.

His name is Moctar Ouane, a respected diplomat.

Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, former Ambassador to the United Nations, Moctar Ouane was most recently WAEMU General Delegate for Peace and Security.

He is recognized by many Malians

Le Pays, as a great technocrat, honest and respected.

This appointment follows a tough negotiation

L'Indépendant

The new Prime Minister would have been appointed after the refusal of Abdoulaye Idrissa Maïga, former Prime Minister of IBK.

Several other names were on the list, including fourteen M5-RFP candidates.

L'Indépendant

this movement had decided not to provide a list of three candidates, as requested by the CNSP, for fear of creating controversy within it.

He had therefore given free choice to its members wishing to be candidates for the post of Prime Minister to submit their files.

Which 14 in number were handed over to the CNSP on Saturday morning.

one can wonder if the M5-RFP is not the big loser in the cast of the three personalities in charge of piloting the transition in Mali.

And it is well done for this movement, launches the Ouagalais daily.

Indeed, the M5-RFP should only blame itself, first for having lacked cohesion vis-à-vis the junta and then for having revealed in broad daylight that it fought for posts and not for Mali.

now,

here is Mali with three key figures who will oversee the 18-month transition to a civilian regime: the interim president, Bah N'Daw, retired colonel and former minister of Defense, a transitional vice-president, Colonel Assimi Goïta, who is none other than the head of the junta, and Moctar Ouane, responsible for forming a government, preparing the next electoral deadlines and putting the institutions back on their feet .

Moctar Ouane is described as a man of rigor, of dossier and having a well-rounded address book.

These assets will they allow him, him the only real civilian in the team of the Malian transition

to put Mali back on the rails of a true democracy, where power would no longer be taken by the weapons, but transmitted through the ballot box, according to the will of the people

?

The former diplomat will undoubtedly have a lot to do to reconcile the Malians among themselves and with the international community, in particular the very cautious ECOWAS

Now that the most civilian of

Malian

is known, the ECOWAS, will no doubt no longer have the choice to continue to shoot at the ambulance

Mali is in greater need of frank and strong aid to initiate a return to democracy, but above all of a policy that places the well-being of the populations at the heart of its concerns.

The sub-regional organization, softened by the suffering of the Malian people, of whom several international voices have carried the message, should announce the lifting of the sanctions which have been clamping down for more than a month. Malians in an economic corset.

the CNSP, which should logically announce its dissolution following the establishment of the new team responsible for implementing the transition program, the CNSP would be well inspired to refrain from any new maneuver to take root in power, by interfering in a cavalier and self-interested manner in the appointment of civilian members of the new transitional team.

In the event of a new quarrel with ECOWAS

the people would no longer be inclined to endure further deprivation.
