The Malian government commits to abide by the orders of the IMF before September 2014, which is the scheduled date of the next mission of the monetary institution in Mali. Until that day, the Malian public expenditures will suffer a severe lack of money and daily life may be tougher for citizens, as predicted by opposition members.

Security and education collapse

Talking to parliament members last week, the Prime minister said his government has a good relationship with the IMF, as the minister of economy was negotiating how to overcome the problems in Washington. He also denied his alleged responsibility in recent escalation of violence in the war-torn northern part of the country.

The Malian armed forces lost some of their strategic positions in the north after a visit of the Prime minister in Kidal, the rebels’ headquarter. This city being a part of Mali, the government said any official figure must visit it, but the opposition leaders argue that the Prime minister must resign because of this incident.

Authorities are also criticized for their responsibility in corruption in the country’s educational system, especially recent leaks of national examinations’ topics. Citizens join blaming the government, as a teachers’ union queried the high school Baccalaureate examination to be canceled because of irregularities.

Though people now think a government shift would be a loss of time, the debate of the parliament on the motion of censure required by the opposition leaders has been largely commented on social media. Corruption and bad governance practices raise concerns from citizens who were divided about the opposition query for the government to resign.
