  • Mali has suspended political activities across the country ahead of a planned protest against the military junta that has ruled since coups in 2020 and 2021, authorities said on Wednesday.

On May 7, 2025, Mali's military junta announced the suspension of all political activities in the country to preserve public order, as reported by state television. This decision comes amid increasing tensions and follows the junta's earlier moves to delay elections and extend their rule, which had been set to end in March 2024. The suspension affects all political parties and associations, and it is part of a broader effort by the junta to maintain control and stability in the face of ongoing security challenges and political unrest.
