Amadou Toumani Touré, often referred to as ATT, is a former Malian military officer and politician who served as the President of Mali from 2002 until his ousting in a military coup in 2012. His presidency was marked by efforts to promote democracy and reform the military, but he faced challenges including a Tuareg rebellion in the north and the rise of violent extremism. His government struggled to contain the escalating conflict, which ultimately led to his removal from power amidst widespread unrest and the collapse of state authority in northern Mali, paving the way for increased extremist activity in the region.
