No mention of a political party called "Rassemblement des partis politiques" (RPP) could be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate. The attachment from the Malian Ministry of Territorial Administration and Local Collectives, which provides a list of political parties in Mali, may be of interest.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find below the list of sources consulted in researching this Information Request.
