Mali’s transitional president, Assimi Goïta, officially received on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, the draft of the National Charter for Peace and Reconciliation. The document is the culmination of six months of nationwide consultations, including engagement with Malian communities abroad.
The new charter marks a departure from the 2015 Algiers Agreement, which the transitional authorities deem no longer aligned with the current realities. Instead, it adopts an internal approach rooted in national institutions and traditional societal values.
The Prime Minister described the initiative as a “historic moment for sovereignty,” amid ongoing security challenges in northern and central Mali.
Through this charter, the government in Bamako aims to promote national reconciliation and rebuild the state, launching a large-scale communication campaign to explain its content and encourage active citizen participation in its implementation.
