Mali s Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Moctar Ouane addresses the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly at the United Nations headquarters.
Mutinous soldiers arrested Mali s transitional president and prime minister on Monday, hours after a government reshuffle left out two members of the junta that had seized power in a coup nine months earlier, the African Union and the United Nations said.
A joint statement issued along with the West African regional bloc known as ECOWAS and other members of the international community called for the immediate release of President Bah N Daw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane, who were taken to the Kati military headquarters.
