The transitional military government came to power in Mali in May 2021 through a military coup. The coup started on the night of May 24, when the Malian army, led by then-Vice President Assimi Goita, arrested interim President Bah N'daw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane. Goita announced that N'daw and Ouane had been stripped of their powers.
