Mali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita appointed the government of the country’s new prime minister, Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga, as he prepares for a presidential campaign amid an ongoing threat from jihadists.
Six new members are entering the government, formed hours after 63-year-old Maiga’s appointment on Saturday following the unexpected resignation of Abdoulaye Idrissa Maiga on Friday.
