Fourteen West African nations sanctioned Mali after its military transitional government delayed elections to 2026 instead of February as originally promised.
Mali's transitional military leaders condemned the Economic Community of West African States for imposing sanctions on them following their decision to delay elections until 2026.
Goita's military group originally said elections would take place in February, but now say they would not happen until 2026, which would give Goita another four years as president. The ECOWAS, which is made up of 14 nations, responded by canceling flights, activating a military standby force and imposing economic sanctions. All of Mali's financial assets in ECOWAS central and regional banks have been frozen.
