Malian press agency staff protest unpaid wages
Workers at the Agence Malienne de Presse et de Publicité have not received salaries for over two months.
Agents of the Malian Press and Advertising Agency (AMAP) began a sit-in on Monday, October 26, 2026, demanding better working conditions. The protest was organized by the union committee to express dissatisfaction with the current situation.
The workers have not been paid for more than two months, a situation described as intolerable, leading to the mobilization. They are also demanding the reinstatement of health insurance, which has been cut for several years. The union committee called for solidarity among all workers to ensure the success of their fight for rights and dignity.
Support for the protest was shown by the general secretaries of the ORTM and AGETIC unions, who attended to demonstrate their backing for their colleagues. This action, affecting numerous employees, is being closely monitored for potential repercussions across the sector and for worker rights in Mali.
