Salif Keita has declared unwavering support for Mali's military junta, viewing it as the last bastion of hope for a nation plagued by political turmoil and insecurity.
Speaking in a DW interview, Keita stated, 'I decided to support the military government because Mali is a country that has been sold.' He emphasizes the importance of military presence for the people's sovereignty.
Keita describes Mali's governance as 'African democracy,' asserting that the ruling junta enjoys overwhelming public support, claiming 'They are followed and loved by 99.99% of their people.'
Despite Keita's comments, human rights advocates highlight a starkly different reality, pointing to evidence of repression and abuses that contradict the singer's portrayal of the military regime.
