Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Mali
What happened
On July 21, 2026, the President continued for one year the national emergency regarding Mali, originally declared on July 26, 2019, by Executive Order 13882. This continuation addresses the persistent "unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the situation in Mali." This notice was published in the Federal Register on July 23, 2026.
Why it matters
The continued emergency means that U.S. government actions and restrictions previously implemented under the 2019 order concerning Mali remain in effect. This emphasizes the U.S. government's view that instability, terrorism, and human rights issues in Mali continue to pose a significant risk.
