Mali

Celebrations took place in Bamako on 9 August instead of the actual EIF date, so that several important political figures could be present. Consequently, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Defence, the Minister of Security, the President of the National Security Commission and the President of Parliament were all present at the event. As well as figures from government, CMC Mali invited all of its civil society partners and members of the press. During the morning, a drumming event was held in a public stadium and in the afternoon, RJSDAO met with representatives from government and the military at the International Peace Centre. At night, a meeting then took place at the International Conference Centre.
