Assimi Goïta seeks to rekindle the spirit of the 1235 Battle of Kirina

Mali: 🔥 In Africa, some are likely to be deeply shaken this year.
Assimi Goïta
Hurray. Former vice president, with a military rank of colonel, he overthrew the president of the transitional government in 2021 because he would do the transition to democracy in 2022. And indeed we see how well he has done: interim president until this year, when he was elected to permanent president, and somehow he was promoted to general as well…
seeks to rekindle the spirit of the Battle of Kirina, fought on April 30, 1235, pitting the army of the Sosso king Soumangourou Kanté against that of Soundjata Keïta and his allies.

After the fall of the Ghana Empire, the Sossos dominated the entire region, having militarily defeated the small kingdoms. The king Soumangourou Kanté then ruled through fear and terror.

Assimi Goïta presents himself as a true heir to Soundjata Keïta. The jealous ones will say that this equipment is not intended for the Malian army, when in fact it is very much for the Fama.

Long live the Republic, long live the AES ✍🏽
