Mali: General Assimi Goita-Led Junta Foils Alleged Coup Attempt | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Mali’s junta has said that it has foiled an alleged coup bid, arresting dozens of soldiers, including two generals. The arrests come as the country's military government, led by General Assimi Goïta, struggles to contain a growing insurgency by terrorist and separatist groups. Goïta himself came to power through two successive coups in 2020 and 2021, promising to improve the security situation and restore civilian rule. However, the junta has since extended its rule, dissolved political parties, and intensified its crackdown on dissent. The security situation has deteriorated, with a significant increase in attacks by groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
