His name is Cheick Chérif Ousmane Madani Haïdara. He is the head of the High Islamic Council of Mali. Known for not having his tongue in his pocket, he caught the attention of more than one on the occasion of the night of fate which marks the last days of the month of Ramadan. Indeed, he did not miss the opportunity, in his sermon, to return to the management of the transition in Mali, thus calling on the highest authorities to be vigilant and more open. ” Assimi must be vigilant. He has to observe the situation, otherwise the men he has chosen will cause him problems.” he said before adding: “You might be wrong. Open your doors to chat. Whether politicians, citizens, receive good ideas (…) If a poor person is abused, power falls “. For advice that sounds like a severe warning, it is one especially with regard to the place of choice occupied by the first head of the High Islamic Council in Mali.
That said, it is up to the president of the transition, Assimi Goïta, who is thus challenged, to know how to be a good prince by stopping not only to systematically imprison all those who criticize his management of affairs, but also by going to listen of the Malian people. Because, although he may be all-powerful, he is not an omniscient person capable of knowing everything and what is happening everywhere in Mali. This is why when one presides over the destinies of a nation, one must have a broad back and accept criticism, wherever it comes from.
Goïta has everything to gain by coming down from his pedestal in order to rectify the situation
Of course, we are not surprised that as a good bandit, Assimi Goïta is allergic to protest, but he forgets that the management of power is above all a political affair. And whoever says politics implies contradiction and the debate of ideas. And as long as he is sincere with himself, Goïta, if he agrees to take a look in the rear view mirror, must have the humility to recognize that all is not rosy in Mali. Far from it ! As proof, to the insecurity linked to terrorism which bereaves families daily, is added the high cost of living which has ended up plunging many households into misery in Mali. We willingly forget the many attacks on individual and collective freedoms. Evidenced by the embastillment of political opponents and other activists. This is the case of the renowned columnist, Youssouf Bathily alias Ras Bath who, since March 13, has been languishing in prison for having declared that the former Prime Minister, Soumeylou Boubeye Maïga, was ” murdered “. It is the same for the activist Rokia Doumbia known as ” Aunt Rose “, which was also placed under a warrant of deposit. His only sin is to have denounced the soaring food prices, while noting that the transition underway in Mali ” is a failure with a balance sheet of 0% “. From the above, we can say that if Imam Haïdara was not a religious personality, Goïta would have sent him to the metal long ago. Goïta has everything to gain by coming down from his pedestal in order to rectify the situation.
