Mali's junta leader dismisses prime minister amid growing political unrest and election delays.

Mali's junta leader, Gen. Assimi Goita, dismissed Prime Minister Choguel Maïga and his government after Maïga criticized the junta's indefinite postponement of elections and lack of clarity on the transition to civilian rule. This move comes amid growing unrest in Mali, which has been under military rule since successive coups in 2020 and 2021. The junta initially promised elections by March 2024 but has delayed them without setting a new date. The dismissal adds to the political uncertainty and instability in the country.
