Moctar Ouane (born 11 October 1955) is a Malian diplomat and politician who served as the acting Prime Minister of Mali from 27 September 2020 to 24 May 2021,between the 2020 Malian coup d'état and the 2021 Malian coup d'état. [1] [2] He also previously served in the government of Mali as Minister of Foreign Affairs from May 2004 to April 2011.
Ouane was technical advisor to the Secretary-General of the Government from 1982 to 1986,head of the Agreements and International Conventions Division at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in 1986,diplomatic advisor to the Prime Minister from 1986 to 1988,chief of staff (chef de cabinet) of the Secretary-General of the Presidency from 1988 to 1990,diplomatic advisor to President Moussa Traoré from 1990 to 1991 and to transitional head of state Amadou Toumani Touré from 1991 to 1992,and then diplomatic advisor to the Prime Minister in 1992. He was political advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1994 to 1995 [3] before becoming Mali's Permanent Representative to the United Nations on 27 September 1995;he served in that post until 27 September 2002. [4] During this time,he served as President of the United Nations Security Council in September 2000 and December 2001. [4] [5] He was Directing Ambassador of International Cooperation from 2003 to 2004 [3] before being named Minister of Foreign Affairs on 2 May 2004. [6]

[8] He attempted to resign on 14 May 2021 but was swiftly reappointed to oversee a reshuffling of the cabinet.

On 27 August 2021,Ouane was released from house arrest. [11]
Until the military coup of March 22,2012 and a second military coup in December 2012 the politics of Mali took place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democratic republic,whereby the President of Mali is head of state with a Presidentially appointed Prime Minister as the head of government,and of a multi-party system.
Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta,often known by his initials IBK,was a Malian politician who served as the president of Mali from September 2013 to August 2020,when he was forced to resign in the 2020 Malian coup d'état. He served as Mali's prime minister from February 1994 to February 2000 and as president of the National Assembly of Mali from September 2002 to September 2007.

Choguel Kokalla Maïga is a Malian politician,who served as the 18th prime minister of Mali from 2021 until his firing by Interim President Assimi Goïta in November 2024. He served in the government as Minister of Industry and Trade from 2002 to 2007 and later as Minister of the Digital Economy,Information and Communication from 2015 to 2016.
The 2012 Malian coup d'état began on 21 March that year,when mutinying Malian soldiers,displeased with the management of the Tuareg rebellion,attacked several locations in the capital Bamako,including the presidential palace,state television,and military barracks. The soldiers,who said they had formed the National Committee for the Restoration of Democracy and State,declared the following day that they had overthrown the government of Amadou Toumani Touré,forcing him into hiding. The coup was followed by "unanimous" international condemnation,harsh sanctions by Mali's neighbors,and the swift loss of northern Mali to Tuareg forces,leading Reuters to describe the coup as "a spectacular own-goal". On 6 April,the junta agreed with Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) negotiators that they would step down from power in return for the end of sanctions,giving power to a transitional government led by parliament speaker Dioncounda Traoré. In the following days,both Touréand coup leader Amadou Sanogo formally resigned;however,as of 16 May,the junta was still "widely thought to have maintained overall control". On 3 December 2013,a mass grave was discovered in Diago holding the remains of 21 soldiers that went missing the year before,loyal to the ousted president.
Amadou Haya Sanogo is a Malian military officer who was leader of the 2012 Malian coup d'état against President Amadou Toumani Touré. He proclaimed himself the leader of the National Committee for Recovering Democracy and Restoring the State (CNRDRE). Sanogo was also said to be involved in the arrest and resignation of acting Prime Minister Cheick Modibo Diarra in December 2012,leading to the appointment of civil servant Django Sissoko as Prime Minister. According to Human Rights Watch,Sanogo’s forces were implicated in serious human rights abuses including torture,sexual abuse,and intimidation against journalists and family members of detained soldiers.
Soumeylou Boubèye Maïga was a Malian politician who was the Prime Minister of Mali between 30 December 2017 and 18 April 2019. The leader of the Alliance for Solidarity in Mali,he had previously served in the government of Mali as Minister of Foreign Affairs under President Amadou Toumani Touréfrom 5 April 2011 until the March 2012 coup d'état. Later he was Minister of Defense from 2013 to 2014 and was Secretary-General of the Presidency from 2016 to 2017.
Boubou Cissé is a Malian politician who was the Prime Minister of Mali from April 2019 to his resignation following the 2020 Malian coup d'état in August 2020. He was also the Minister of Economy and Finance and Minister of Mines and Industry.
On 18 August 2020,elements of the Malian Armed Forces began a mutiny,and subsequently undertook a coup d'état. Soldiers on pick-up trucks stormed the Soundiata military base in the town of Kati,where gunfire was exchanged before weapons were distributed from the armory and senior officers arrested. Tanks and armoured vehicles were seen on the town's streets,as well as military trucks heading for the capital,Bamako. The soldiers detained several government officials including President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta,who resigned and dissolved the government. This was the country's second coup in less than 10 years,following the 2012 coup d'état. On a subregional level,the coup also marked an end to a period of nearly six years,since the 2014 Burkina Faso uprising and the ousting of Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaoré,during which there was not a single undemocratic change of government in West Africa. For this subregion,where many countries have a history of civil war and violent conflict,this was a period of remarkable stability,during which ECOWAS even managed to find a peaceful resolution to the 2016–2017 Gambian constitutional crisis.
Général d’Armée Assimi Goïta is a Malian military officer who has been interim President of Mali since 28 May 2021. Goïta was the leader of the National Committee for the Salvation of the People,a military junta that seized power from former president Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta in the 2020 Malian coup d'état. Goïta later seized power from Bah Ndaw in the 2021 Malian coup d'état and has since been declared interim president of Mali.
Bah Ndaw is a Malian retired military officer and politician who served as the president of Mali between 25 September 2020 and 24 May 2021 when he was overthrown during the 2021 Malian coup d'état. Between May 2014 and January 2015 he was Minister of Defense.
