High Islamic Council of Mali
The High Islamic Council of Mali (HCIM; Haut Conseil islamique malien) is an organization created in January 2002[1] that brings together religious organizations and leaders responsible for interfacing with authorities.[2] [3]
The council is headed by a president from the national executive board elected for a five-year term.
Thierno Hady Boubacar Thiam, a moderate ulama who represented the Malikite majority, led the organization from 2003 to 2008.[1]
Salafi Mahmoud Dicko [2] led the council from 2008 to 2019. At the end of his first term in 2014, Dicko was re-elected with 59 votes as compared to 27 for his competitor Thierno Hady Oumar Thiam.[4]
Since April 2019, the council has been led by the Malikite Chérif Ousmane Madani Haïdara.[5] [6] Haïdara had been the council's vice president beginning in 2002, when the council was created.[3]
