In the late 1980s the people of Bamako and Mali campaigned for a free-market economy and multiparty democracy. In 1990, the National Congress for Democratic Initiative (''Congrès National d'Initiative démocratique'', CNID) was set up by the lawyer Mountaga Tall, and the Alliance for Democracy in Mali (''Alliance pour la démocratie au Mali'', ADEMA) by Abdramane Baba and historian Alpha Oumar Konaré. These with the ''Association des élèves et étudiants du Mali'' (AEEM) and the Association Malienne des Droits de l'Homme (AMDH) aimed to oust Moussa Traoré. Under the old constitution, all labor unions had to belong to one confederation, the National Union of Malian Workers (UNTM). When the leadership of the UNTM broke from the government in 1990, the opposition grew. Groups were driven by paycuts and layoffs in the government sector, and the Malian government acceding to pressure from international donors to privatise large swathes of the economy that had remained in public hands even after the overthrow of the socialist government in 1968. Students, even children, played an increasing role in the protest marches in Bamako, and homes and businesses of those associated with the regime were ransacked by crowds.
