Foreign Policy

Mali's military government has executed a dramatic foreign policy pivot, replacing the French security partnership with Russian military cooperation, deepening ties with Turkey and Iran, and joining the Alliance of Sahel States. The junta expelled MINUSMA, ending one of the UN's most complex peacekeeping missions.

Bamako frames its realignment as a reassertion of sovereignty against neocolonial interference. It has sought to maintain economic ties with China and the Gulf states while resisting ECOWAS pressure for democratic transition.
