Significance
Keita tried and failed to enact a similar package in 2017. The reforms have a better chance of passing this time, but opposition could still thwart the president’s plans.
Impacts
Foreign governments would likely be pleased if the reforms pass, as this would advance formal implementation of the Algiers Accord.
The reforms will be unlikely to stem rising violence, particularly in central Mali, whose problems are not addressed by the Accord.
Efforts by ex-rebels to expand their authority will have a greater political impact in the north, for now, than any constitutional reform.
