Malian authorities have arrested over 40 military personnel, including two generals, on suspicion of plotting to destabilize the country's transitional government. The wave of arrests, which began around August 10, 2025, targeted soldiers allegedly involved in an attempted coup against the military junta that seized power in Mali. The junta has accused foreign states, including French intelligence services, of supporting the destabilization efforts. Among those detained is a French national. The government has not provided detailed comments on the arrests but has described the situation as a threat to national stability. These developments highlight ongoing tensions within Mali's military leadership and the fragile nature of the transitional government.
