Date: 2021

## The fact

## Context

He had been vice-president of the transition after the August 2020 coup. Ndaw and Ouane resigned in detention. Ndaw is unresolved. He was sworn on 7 June 2021.

24 May detentions; 28 May Court ruling; 7 June oath. Stored as one 28 May 2021 Fact. Keep Constitutional Court names Goïta interim president after the 24 May coup on 2021-05-28 separate from neighbouring coup, AES, and ECOWAS instruments.

The transitional president of Mali is head of state and commander of the armed forces. He can be named by the Constitutional Court, sign a charter, and join a communiqué. He does not write a UN document as if he were the Secretariat, and he does not invent a unique jihadist death integer here.

## Evidence and sources

Reuters carries the official instrument or communique. BBC News records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned junta driver: a completed court investiture of a coup leader as head of state.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The Court named him interim president on 28 May 2021 after the 24 May detentions.

Not established: A unique 24 May death integer, or that the 2022 election occurred on the promised clock.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The Court wrote. Sharing the ruling is not a reason to drop 28 May 2021.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Constitutional Court names Goïta interim president after the 24 May coup, not a later speech about Constitutional Court names Goïta interim president after the 24 May coup.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Constitutional Court names Goïta interim president after the 24 May coup on 2021-05-28 is not a licence to treat every later Reuters communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Constitutional Court names Goïta interim president after the 24 May coup into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He ordered the 24 May detentions as vice-president. The Court wrote. Sharing the ruling is not a reason to drop 28 May 2021. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
