Malian soldiers parade as they arrive by military vehicle at Independence Square in Bamako on August 18, 2020, after rebel troops seized Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and Prime Minister Boubou Cisse in a dramatic escalation of a months-long crisis. - Neighbouring states in West Africa, along with France, the European Union and the African Union, condemned the sudden mutiny and warned against any unconstitutional change of power in the fragile country.
Such a government is not expected to be formed for another 18 months at least, the timeline set by the new authorities for a political transition tasked with preparing the ground for general elections and the restoration of civilian rule. The military leaders who seized control put in place a president and a transition government while retaining a grip on power.
When the military topples a government, “we’re obliged under US law to restrict assistance that benefits that government until such time as constitutional order is restored,” Pham said.But he said humanitarian and development assistance — which makes up the bulk of US aid — continues to reach Mali through non-government and international partners.
