Event
Several civil society groups, including the Front for Rejecting the Implementation of the Algiers Accord (FRAA), Plan to demonstrate in Bamako during the afternoon of March 13.

Heightened security and localized transportation disruptions are likely. While the gathering will probably remain largely peaceful, clashes with security forces cannot be ruled out.
