Rais wa Togo Faure Gnassingbe amekubali kuwa mpatanishi katika mzozo wa kisiasa wa Mali huku serikali ya kijeshi ya nchi hiyo ya Afrika Magharibi ikikabiliwa na shinikizo la kurudisha utawala wa kiraia, mawaziri wao wa mambo ya nje wamesema.
Tangu Agosti 2020 wakati jeshi lilipochukua mamlaka katika jimbo la Sahel, Mali imekuwa katika machafuko. Kuna mazungumzo yanayoendelea ndani ya utawala kuhusu muda unaohitajika kurejesha utaratibu wa kikatiba.

Togo’s President Faure Gnassingbe has agreed to act as a mediator in Mali’s political crisis as the West African country’s military government faces pressure to re-establish civilian rule, their foreign ministers have said.
Since August 2020 when the military seized power in the Sahel state, Mali has been in turmoil. There are ongoing negotiations within the administration over the length of time needed to restore constitutional order.
Malian Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop and his Togolese counterpart told reporters late Wednesday in Togo’s capital Lome that Gnassingbe had agreed to act as a facilitator in the crisis.
“We asked President Faure Gnassingbe to use his good office, wisdom and experience to facilitate dialogue with regional actors and more broadly dialogue with the entire international community,” Diop said.
“The situation we are in today requires that we show political genius about how to get out of this situation.”
Togolese Foreign Minister Robert Dussey confirmed the offer was accepted.

Relations between the government and former colonial power France have also deteriorated, with Mali breaking off its defence accords with Paris on Monday, condemning “flagrant violations” of its national sovereignty by French troops.
Mali’s military government initially promised to restore civilian rule, but has been hit with sanctions after it failed to meet a commitment to the West African bloc ECOWAS to hold elections in February this year.
