Akufo Addo Jets Off To Mali On Thursday Despite Border Closure

President Akufo Addo is expected to leave the country for Mali to help in a mediation process despite the border closure due to the Coronavirus.

He is to join his colleague presidents from Senegal (Macky Sall), Ivory Coast (Alassane Ouattara), and Niger (Mahamadou Issoufou) to help in mediation process due to political unrest in Mali.

Confirming the travel on  GTV’s Ask the Minister show, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said Akufo Addo  “will be going to Bamako in Mali. The AU has requested him to go there to help with challenges they have there to share his leadership skills to help bring peace.”

This comes after continuous protest in Mali by the main opposition protest movement – M5-RFP who are calling for embattled president, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita’s resignation.
