💨 Abstract

On May 13, 2025, Mali's President Gen. Assimi Goita signed a decree dissolving all political parties amidst opposition demonstrations. The move, announced after a government meeting, comes after weeks of protests against military rule and increased arrests of pro-democracy activists. The decision is seen as a setback to the reconciliation process and is being appealed by political figures. The decree bans any meetings of dissolved political parties and organizations.
