Some five African Heads of State of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region are in Bamako, Mali to come up with peaceful solutions to end the ongoing sociopolitical situation in the country.
These Heads of State are Senegal’s Macky Sall, Alassane Ouattara from Cote d’Ivoire, Muhammadu Buhari from Nigeria, Nana-Akufo Addo from Ghana and, Mahamadou Issoufou from Niger.
These West African leaders are meeting at a time when mediation efforts by ECOWAS’ special envoy to Mali, the former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan had not yielded the expected results.
Despite combined efforts by these Heads of state and that of the ECOWAS peace ambassador to Mali to restore stability in the country, the leader of the protest group “Mouvement du 5 Juin –Rassemblement des Forces Patriotiques” (M5-RFP), Imam Mahmoud Dicko says that “if it really is because of this that they came together, I think nothing has been done yet.”
Protesters in Mali are calling for the resignation of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita (IBK) who has been in power for close to two decades now since 2013.
