Colonel Assimi Goita Assures Nation After Militant Attacks
The Malian government released several photos to address rumors regarding the status of leader Colonel Assimi Goita. Colonel Assimi Goita issued a video message addressing the public in Mali regarding ongoing security struggles. Goita called on Malians to show confidence in the armed forces and security forces engaged in a struggle against terrorism. Colonel Assimi Goita appeared on state television late Tuesday to address the nation. The appearance follows a noticeable absence from public view.
