Mali's new premier in talks to form government

AFP, Bamako
Mali's new prime minister was in talks to appoint a government yesterday to lead the west African nation's post-war recovery after the surprise resignation of his predecessor and the entire cabinet.
Former planning minister Moussa Mara, 39, was promoted to the premiership on Saturday after Mali's first post-war prime minister OumarTatam Ly quit just six months into office, a statement from the presidency said.
"Moussa Mara is engaged on Sunday in consultations for the formation of the new government," an aide told AFP, adding that the new cabinet would likely be made public within a week.
President Ibrahima Boubacar Keita's office gave no reason for the resignation of Ly and his ministers, but it emerged on Sunday that the prime minister had become frustrated over being unable to enact reforms in the administration.
Ly, 50, said in his resignation letter, seen by AFP, that he had been unable to convince Keita to act on "the inefficiencies and inadequacies that I found in the running of government that greatly reduce its ability to meet challenges".
"Accordingly, in consideration of these differing views which make the mission you have entrusted to me untenable, I am sorry to present my resignation as prime minister," Ly wrote.
A source close to Ly said he had "insistently, since early March, brought to Keita's attention the need
not only to restructure the government team, but also to change old habits in the running of Mali".
"When you are in charge of running a government, you need your hands free to work. If this is no longer the case, you have to draw your own conclusions and that is what that Mr Ly has done," another close aide told AFP.
The press in Bamako suggested that tensions between the two men had been exacerbated by the fact that Ly felt undermined by the president's son, Karim Keita, the deputy leader of the national assembly.
Keita appointed Ly, a leading economist but a surprise choice to many, after his inauguration in September last year, with Mali looking to set up a government that would turn the page on months of political chaos and war.
Mara, active in Bamako and then national politics since his late 20s, was a losing candidate in the August election, garnering 1.5 percent of the vote as president of Yelerna - "change" in Mali's Bambara language - a party he founded in 2010.
Married with two children, Mara comes from a political family.
His father Joseph Mara was a soldier and justice minister who spent time in jail in the late 1970s under the military dictatorship of Moussa Traore.
Mara, his brother and his sister were brought up by their mother and grandmother, who taught him the value of "a strict adherence to discipline", according to his website.
An academic high achiever, he studied economics and remains one of the youngest members of Mali's institute of chartered accountants.
