Malians and Malians have understood that after nine years of fruitless fight against terrorism in our country by the Barkhane force, the French occupation army, the liberation of their country is incumbent first to themselves,

They also understood that no one will come to make our country in our place.

Without this national upsurge, our country will be at the mercy of the invaders and their imperialist sponsors who swear by the plunder of our wealth and the destruction of our values ​​by imposing their culture.

the Russian option seems more and more obvious

Mali is on the way to becoming the West African regional hub of Russian strategy

a double objective,

winning African votes at the United Nations to modify multilateralism and benefit at a lower cost from the wealth and potential of the African continent

Mali is isolating itself at a frantic pace.

In addition to Barkhane, Takuba, and the European missions, it is now the Minusma which would be in the line of sight.

Paranoia sets in among the popular masses.

Everyone would be against Mali and would like to prevent the country's march towards real independence

By dint of pulling too much on the rope and in all directions, we can fear a progressive isolation of Mali, in a context where doubt is nevertheless allowed on the capacity of the only Russian partner to Wagner to help the country meet the security challenge across its vast territory.

Suffice to say that these persistent tensions between Bamako and its international partners could have counterproductive effects with a negative impact on the fight against terrorism.

(…) In any case, Mali, as a sovereign state, now has the opportunity to assume full responsibility,

Le Pays

Assimi Goïta and his comrades in arms must do everything so that the Malians do not regret the French who are treated with all the names of birds.

They must take responsibility, especially since outside of Moscow, relations between Mali and other international partners involved in the fight against terrorism are experiencing hiccups and persistent misunderstandings

the security situation continues to deteriorate.

The operational partnership forged between the Malian army and the mercenaries of the Russian Wagner group – which Bamako stubbornly denies – has not, at this stage, enabled the Malian state to regain a foothold in the areas controlled by the insurgents.

In late July, GSIM fighters carried out an unprecedented series of attacks in central and southern Mali, going so far as to strike Kati, the garrison town that is the heart of Mali's military power, on the outskirts of Bamako. .

On August 7, the other major jihadist organization based in the Sahel, the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, launched an assault on an army base in Tessit, in the east of the country, killing 42 Malian soldiers. .

Since its coup, the junta had never suffered such military losses.

As the crow flies,

50 kilometers separate Tessit from the Ouattagouna border post.

William Ruto, president-elect

In a country where the two previous presidential elections have had a negative impact on people's minds, serenity cannot reign after these results.

Especially since the winner faces Odinga and his godfather, the outgoing president Uhuru Kenyatta, and some of the Kikuyus.

Moreover, more than a victory for Ruto, it is a failure for Uhuru Kenyatta who tried against all odds to impose a former and old opponent, who spent all his time saying all the bad things he was thinking of the Kikuyus, the majority ethnic group which always weighs the scales towards the winner.

And now,

Today

what can happen
