Bach N'Dao

Bach N'Dao is a Malian military officer who served as the interim president of Mali following a coup d'état in May 2021. His leadership came during a tumultuous period marked by political instability and security challenges, particularly in relation to extremist groups in the Sahel region. N'Dao's tenure was characterized by efforts to stabilize the country and initiate a transition back to civilian rule, although he faced significant opposition and challenges, including another coup that led to his detention later in 2021.
