In front of representatives of his political majority, the Malian head of state spoke for 50 minutes on Saturday. Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta said he was completely open to dialogue. He proposes a government of national unity to find solutions to the current political crisis . His guests approved.

Tiéman Hubert Coulibaly, former Malian Minister for Foreign Affairs, who heads a group of heavyweight parties of the presidential majority, recounts the interview: "  The President of the Republic gave us his point of view, knowing that he made a offer of government of national unity by proposing to all political sensitivities to meet within this executive in order to conduct the necessary reforms that can avoid our country from similar episodes.  "

Reforms necessary to end the crisis

No subject will be taboo, warn each other, and there are several: the reforms necessary to get out of the crisis, the future of the Constitutional Court which now works on crutches - at least four of the nine wise men have already presented their resignation -, and the case of the National Assembly where the election of 31 deputies drafted by the Constitutional Court after having been declared defeated during the proclamation of the provisional results by the Malian Ministry of Territorial Administration.
