And cameroonian arches senate c. L. Tells us about his recent collaboration with beyonce. Allowed to see when to welcome to news africa its good to have you along that it is of a military coup in mind these say they will bring about a political transition and hold fresh elections within reasonable time it comes off the mahdis president abraham announced his resignation just style was off to being detained by armed soldiers his ousting follows months of protest over corruption and economic mismanagement in the west african nation but while the events have been met by jubilation inside bani they sparked a long among international observers. Gunshots that arent meant to kill but to celebrate this car navigates the jaring crowd sitting inside is believed to be the detained president he brought him cater and other officials and later in the day where we are looking president cater appeared on state t. V. If some elements of our armed forces concluded that my presidency should end with their intervention is going to want to. Do i really have a choice. I accept their decision because im not a single drop of blood should be shed to keep me in power. Was a fear for me did not you know the coup leaders also appeared on state television vowing a transition that would lead to fresh elections remember as soon as nose descends into chaos day by day anneke and insecurity because of the people in charge of its destiny. Real democracy doesnt go with complacency no weakness of the state authority which must guarantee freedom and security of the people in a secluded situated. Their power grab started as a mutiny among soldiers at an army base near the capital bamako after seizing weapons and taking high ranking officials prisoner they then moved to the president s house surrounding it and firing gunshots into the air. Crowds of antigovernment protesters cheered on as the democratically elected leader was arrested and driven away. But were very happy because this is the liberation of the people of mali all molly and were waiting for this day and we were waiting for the president and his men to allow us to breathe. Molly has been gripped by months of antigovernment protests with many accusing caters administration of corruption and incompetence especially when it came to preventing a jihad is insurgency from the north. While the president s resignation was celebrated by those in the streets the takeover was roundly condemned by the International Community echo was the west African Regional bloc pledged to close london enabled us to mali as a result it must feel like deja vu for some a military coup was launched from the same army base in 2012 worktop willing then president and sending the country into a period of chaos this time around the people of mali will be hoping for a smoother transition of power but it is still unclear just who that power will be handed to. And for more on the story im joined by the deputies told me or let it go tony has been covering the region specifically security for the last decade welcome to the day to the table at told me so its a question of who will hold power in mali right the coup leaders have said that they will hold an election in due time but its military role for now actually the coup leaders say theyre going to try and bring in place a civilian Transitional Government and he that government is the one that will bring about elections so well wait to see how that plays out but we also have to look at who makes up that civilian government so the which whether those individuals are credible people ok lets talk about the regional body here ecowas they were involved in mediation talks between the now alstad president cater and the opposition they have slammed this takeover how much pressure can they put on the coup leader. Well the threatening sanctions theyve ordered the borders around mali to be closed because wants to be seen to be laying down the law and not giving any shred of legitimacy to this military takeover really. And so if you look at even when the mediation was going on when the talks were going on between the opposition and the president of course still even though the opposition want to the president to step down and of course insisted that they had to be some middle ground and it wasnt just for the president to step down and at the same time theyre saying there has to be due democratic process and not just a military unconstitutional takeover ok lets talk about for now former president basically once enough want to leave actions how do we get to place where youve got people outside his residence celebrating the fact that hes been hold out of office well i mean how many african heads of state have we seen of this man who come in with so much goodwill and then leave disgraced you know like this and this is yet another case in the case of president expresident kater now who a lot of people you know came to the streets because they accused him and his government of corruption of accused him of nepotism appointing his own cronies including his son to keep positions in government. You know not being able to implement fully the agreements of the all goes according to us between the government and different groups failing to deal with ethnic and jihadist violence across the country week Public Services the list is endless and people coming out to say this is not the government they voted for write a mother figure in the story is this very popular in mob who goes by the name mahmoud hes been leading the opposition parties that weve been seeing on the streets in mali in the run up to this. Tell us a little bit more about him and we as if it is. All of this well this is a conservative scholar scholar like figure in mali who has you know ghana massive support he actually only used to be an ally of president so about 2017 when they fell out. Decoys somebody who has been believed to be one of the key figures who would help the government possibly if there if there were if there was the case to have talks with the jihadists and kind of bring them to the table and hes that kind of figure who is seen as being able to rally the public but also being able to reach out to for example the enemies of the state and i think if the military are supposed to are hoping to have some success that would be somebody that they would look to to try and bring in if not for his advice and you know see where he lead to it what does an unstable mali mean for the region that thats i think a major threat mali is a vast country if you look at why a lot of these groups didnt want full government control which there isnt in the in the whole country there many parts where the government really doesnt exist because people are able to operate within their own regions carry out all kinds of smuggling of people of drugs of weapons and the lack of control enables that to go on if you look at for example thats why jihadi groups have been able to to flourish in that region thats also why for example mali is one of the routes for migrants going up to europe so i think if things fall apart in the country then that just creates more room like you see in libya for this kind of instability and for different criminal groups to to grow and flourish from within that space all right to me a lot of people as always thank you to me for that and at this. The sun is.
