The Malian government has said Banks and gas stations that had gone on strike in Mali have called off their action yesterday after reaching an agreement with the junta.
Recall the National Union of Banks, Insurance Companies, Financial Institutions, Retailers, and Gas Stations (Synabef) had stopped work on Thursday to demand the release of three union members arrested a month ago and to advocate for better working conditions.
The Sahel country has been under military rule since quickfire coups in 2020 and 2021 and has been mired in a serious security crisis since 2012.
A joint statement from Synabef and an office attached to the prime minister’s office announced “the suspension of the strike order, following a meeting between the union and a government delegation led by Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maiga.
