Malian Prime Minister Abdoulaye Idrissa Maiga and his government resigned on Friday, the president’s office said, without giving a reason.
Maiga is widely expected either to serve as President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita’s campaign director for next year’s presidential election or to run in Keita’s place.
The president will soon name a new government, his office said in the statement. It will be the fifth to serve under Keita since his election in 2013.
Usually fewer than half the ministers appointed to a new government have served in the previous cabinet.
Keita’s presidency has been dominated by security challenges posed by Islamist militants in northern and central Mali, who have regrouped since a French military intervention in 2013 to wage regular attacks on troops, U.N. peacekeepers and civilians.

I doubt it, they seem to change prime ministers even more than Australia, would be worried if it was the President himself resigning , think the news dropped after we finished trading .
