Colonel Assimi Goïta, the Transitional Head of State and interim President is now bound to be the ruler until 2027. That’s after two coups in 2020 and in 2021. He has sealed total control of power and now is the sole proprietor as the Commander-in-Chief and as Head of State.
The current ruler has already had two times postponed elections and fixed dates for ending of the interim or transitional powers. Now the current Inter-Malian Dialogue is a way of legitimizing the junta and it’s reign in Bamako. The usage of military insurgency and instability in certain regions of the Republic. Therefore, the Colonel will always have a reason to prolong and stay in power.
Goïta outwitted people in 2020 and 2021, but now the gig is sort of showing. His not different from other rulers or people who get high on power. His using the military power and the will of the guns to stay in office.
The colonel has tasted the sweet fruits of the Presidency and the abilities of being in power. He now runs supreme and doesn’t want to give that up. Goïta will find new excuses and reasons to stay in office.
We know he is now coming as the saviour and the hero of the Nation. As the dialogue is giving him either two more years or five more years. They are also speaking of supporting his candidacy for President after the transitional period. A Transitional Period that has lasted for three years and will be possible extended to 2027. That’s giving him plenty of years of consolidating power and expand his control of the state. Therefore, the longer he stays… the more likely his to never leave.
The most expected thing now is a Life Presidency or until someone else topples him by a coup d’etat. He won’t step down for a civilian or risk losing office. Goïta now see the pieces of silver and the prestige of being the head of state. He now has a say and can order changes on a national level. That’s something he won’t give to others or willingly give away. Therefore, he will stay in office and disregard the will of the people.
A man who took the power by the gun and used two coups to get his way. He will not leave peacefully and will use all means to be legitimized. That’s what is happening in Bamako.
His a Commander who became a Head of State. Col. Goïta is slowly working on his Presidency for Life. Peace.
