Mali’s military government on Wednesday, suspended the activities of political parties in the country indefinitely.
This comes days after a rare pro-democracy rally.
The decree was signed by the transitional president, General Assimi Goita.
Goita, who seized power after coups in 2020 and 2021, cited “reasons of public order”.
It was issued a week after a law governing the operation of political parties was repealed.
The decision was interpreted by legal experts as a step towards their dissolution.
In response, a coalition of parties formed to “demand the effective end of the political-military transition no later than December 31” as well as a return to constitutional order.
On Saturday, the new coalition carried out a protest in the capital, Bamako, against the move by the military government.
Another protest had been expected later this week.
