Mali's new constitution removes French as the official language

A new constitution that has been adopted by Mali's military administration gives the president and the armed forces considerable autonomy.

The Council of Elders may be established, and the new constitution abolishes French as the official language.

Since 2020, the nation has been governed by the military supreme council.

The country's election body said that 97 percent of the populace approved the constitutional amendments that were implemented in the previous month, despite the opposition groups' condemnation of the reforms.

Critics of the reforms claim that the country's military leaders will be able to break their promise to cede control to civilians following elections, which are anticipated to take place in February 2024, thanks to the new constitution.

The possibility to carry out the objectives of the government by dissolving the parliament is provided under the new constitution to the president of the army, colonel Assimi Gota.

After the country's protests against the country's former president, Ibrahim Boubacar Keta, erupted three years ago, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces of the country earned a lot of support after it lost the government of the country.
