BAMAKO, Mali (AP) â Maliâs military has released the transitional president and prime minister from detention, a top officer said Thursday.
The release of President Bah NâDaw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane came after they resigned Wednesday in the presence of international arbitrators who were in the West African nation to mediate the political crisis, according to Maj. Baba Cisse.

The U.N. Security Council indicated the resignations were forced and demanded an immediate resumption of the civilian-led transitional government, saying after a closed meeting Wednesday that military personnel should return to their barracks.
