Mediators to meet detained Malian president and PM
AFP, BAMAKO
West African mediators were to be allowed to meet with Mali’s detained president and prime minister yesterday, a source close to the discussions said, two days after the transitional leaders were stripped of their powers by the country’s military.
The detention on Monday of Malian President Bah Ndaw and Malian Prime Minister Moctar Ouane, tasked with steering the return to civilian rule after a coup in August last year, triggered widespread international condemnation and the threat of sanctions.
The UN Security Council was to hold an emergency meeting later yesterday at the request of France and others, with French President Emmanuel Macron likening the recent events to a second coup.
