Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta
Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, often referred to as IBK, served as the President of Mali from 2013 until his ousting in a military coup in August 2020. Prior to his presidency, he held various positions in Malian politics, including Prime Minister and Speaker of the National Assembly. His tenure was marked by efforts to combat terrorism and improve security in a country facing significant political and economic challenges. However, his administration faced criticism for corruption and ineffective governance, ultimately leading to widespread protests and his removal from power. Keïta's presidency ended a period of instability, but his ousting has contributed to ongoing unrest in Mali.
