Yesterday, the run-off for the parliamentary elections in the country of # of Mali began despite the partial closure to contain the # Corona virus.

The first round resulted in the victory of 22 deputies, including the leader of the opposition, Sumela Sisi, who was kidnapped by extremist organizations on March 25th while he was participating in the campaign for his party's elections in the center of the country.​​​.

The Maat Foundation for Peace, Development and Human Rights believes that it is not understood the Malian government's insistence on holding # elections in light of these health conditions that the world is going through due to the Corona pandemic. Especially as the same country closed its borders and imposed a partial curfew, closed schools and banned gatherings to contain the spread of the virus.. And all this while the government announced the registration of 224 confirmed cases of # Covid_19, and 14 deaths.
