1/10. #Mali de ASSIMI GOÏTA : L'histoire s'écrit sous nos yeux.

Pour ceux qui ne savent pas, la Compagnie Ivoirienne de l'électricité (CIE) dirigée par la filiale française ERANOVE qui gère entre autre (SODECI, CIE, CIPPREL, AWALE, SMART ENERGY) fournit à l'Etat malien 130 MW de

2/10. l'électricité par an payé d'avance.
Depuis 2017, à chaque fois que le #Mali contrarie la #Françafrique, elle active le président Ouattara pour faire du chantage à l'Etat malien en menaçant les autorités du pays de couper l'électricité.

3/10. Depuis 2019, certains quartiers de Bamako sont délestés sans raison, alors même que l'Etat malien a toujours payé d'avance sa facture d'électricité à la société ERANOVE.

Shootings in Kati, not far from #Bamako in the early morning ours of friday. Unclear what's going on. Yesterday we saw several coordinated attacks on different military installations by armed groups in some regions of #Mali. This could be part of it but nothing knows yet.
