After the resignation of Malian Prime Minister Soumeylou Boubèye Maiga, a new step towards the appointment of his replacement ... The President of the Republic takes things himself in hand, taking into account the new balance of power.

The head of the Malian State received this Friday leaders of parties of the majority. After the talks, all said they had met an open man on the council, before the appointment of a prime minister and the formation of a new government.

This Saturday, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta also receives officials of the Malian opposition. And this is almost a first before the formation of a government. By nature, since being head of state, IBK is rather in favor of a governing majority and a critical opposition.

But in the meantime, the dikes have jumped to Parliament. Parties of the opposition and the majority joined hands to force the resignation of Prime Minister Soumeylou Boubèye Maïga, who in fact served as a fuse to the president.

The latter knows that from now on he must know where to put his feet by sparing his "rebel" majority and the opposition. If this alliance challenges its future choices, it will be blocked and it will be very difficult for it to carry out the desired reforms.

We are waiting for the name of the new head of government. Among the first ministers, the names of two members of the outgoing government are circulating, as well as that of an international civil servant.

For the party of the head of state, Mali especially needs appeasement. It is up to the opposition to decide whether or not to join the government, "Baber Gano told us by phone," I think that if the president in his current availability to participate or open to all political parties of the majority and the opposition, I do not see why the opposition would not participate. It is a mission government to implement projects, institutional political reforms ".

Mali needs appeasement and " social cohesion ", says Baber Gano. " The country needs to succeed - together - all the reforms for the constitutional revision ".

Also requested by RFI, the president of the Islamic High Council, Imam Dicko, did not wish to comment on the resignation of the Prime Minister whose departure he had requested.
