Rokiatou Makadji has been elected president of the Association des jeunes avocats du Mali (AJAM), according to reports from Malian legal circles. The election took place in May 2026, marking a new leadership for the organization representing young lawyers in Mali.
Makadji's election was confirmed by multiple sources within the Malian bar association. She succeeds the previous leadership and is expected to focus on issues affecting young legal professionals, including access to justice and professional development.
The AJAM plays a key role in advocating for the rights and interests of young lawyers in Mali, a country facing significant legal and political challenges. Makadji's presidency comes at a time when the legal community is navigating post-coup transitions and judicial reforms.
