Malian voters cast ballots on a new draft constitution Sunday, June 18, 2023, in a referendum that the country's coup leader says will pave the way toward holding new elections in 2024, but that critics have called a delaying tactic. In a message broadcast on state television on the eve of the vote, Col. Assimi Goita told Malians that the proposed draft constitution “provides for a better-organized executive power, while maintaining the necessary balance with the legislative power.”. (AP Photo, File)
