Mali's military government has announced the immediate suspension of all political party activities across the country, citing the need to preserve public order.
The decision, broadcast on state television, comes as political parties were preparing to protest against the ruling junta. This move effectively silences opposition voices and raises concerns about the state of democracy in Mali. The suspension is indefinite, with no timeline given for when political activities might resume.
The announcement marks a significant escalation in the junta's efforts to consolidate power.
