Mali's military leader addressed the nation on April 29, 2026, marking his first public comments following significant attacks that have challenged the stability of his junta.
During his speech, he emphasized that the situation is 'under control,' a statement that comes amid rising worries regarding the activities of jihadist groups and Tuareg separatists.
The recent violence has sparked concerns about the junta's ability to maintain order and effectively govern in the face of these threats.
