Mali: how to explain the silence of the presidency?

Mali experienced a tragic weekend with violent attacks from Tuareg rebels of the Azawad Liberation Front and a jihadist group, resulting in the death of Defense Minister Sadio Camara. The assailants also claimed control of the city of Kidal. Despite these significant events, transitional President Assimi Goïta has remained silent and has not made a public appearance since the attacks began.
