Bamako, Mali – (African Boulevard News) – After launching his new political party Convergence in March, Moussa Timbiné, the last speaker of parliament under Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, is embarking on an international tour to consolidate his support. With the presidential elections drawing near, Timbiné is eager to set out on a charm offensive, both domestically and overseas.
According to sources at the party headquarters, Timbiné’s first stop on his international tour will be in Brussels, where he will meet with representatives of the European Union. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the current situation in Mali and to seek support for his party’s upcoming campaign.
Timbiné is also expected to visit other European capitals, as well as countries in the Middle East, to build relationships with influential individuals and organizations that could support his candidacy for president.
In an interview with African Boulevard News, Timbiné expressed his confidence in his party’s ability to win the upcoming election. “We have a vision for Mali that is different from the current regime. Our party represents the people of Mali, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that their voices are heard,” he said.
Timbiné’s international tour comes amidst growing tensions in Mali, which has seen several coups and political unrest in recent years. The country is set to hold presidential elections in February 2022, and many are hoping for a peaceful transfer of power.
Political analyst, Dr. Fatoumata Diallo, believes that Timbiné’s international tour is a wise move, as it gives him the opportunity to build relationships with key players in the international community. “Moussa Timbiné is a seasoned politician, and he knows that he needs the support of the international community to win the upcoming election,” she said.
Diallo also believes that Timbiné’s visit to Europe will be especially important, as the EU has been a key player in Mali’s political affairs. “If Timbiné can secure the support of the EU, it will go a long way in strengthening his campaign and giving him a better chance of being elected,” she added.
In conclusion, Timbiné’s international tour is a strategic move that could greatly benefit his campaign for president. With growing tension in Mali, it is imperative that the country’s next leader is able to maintain stability, build relationships with the international community, and deliver on the needs of the people.
