On Wednesday, December 12, Mali abruptly named Diango Cissoko as the country's new Prime Minister. Mali's previous Prime Minister Cheick Modibo Diarra was arrested and replaced the day before by two decrees of the interim president Dioncounda Traore by soldiers that were sympathetic to loyal to a former coup leader. This is a growing problem in Mali considering it was once the African government most closely associated with democracy. This increase of armed displacement of power can not hold well for long and still strive to be a democracy in which office holders are elected by the people, not positioned by other people already in power.
