A political analyst says the decision by Mali’s military government to postpone democratic elections is a worrying development because the junta does not say when those elections would be held again. The junta announced late Monday that it was postponing the February 2024 elections in part because of a dispute with a French-based technology company that manufactures an identification system over unpaid bill. Political analyst Ibrahima Kane, tells VOA’s James Butty, the delay may be because the junta has lost control of a large part of the country.
