Former Mali president Bah Ndaw.
Mali’s ousted interim leaders are free after they were detained by the army and resigned, a military representative said, as another questioned the feasibility of elections promised for next year.
Interim President Bah Ndaw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane were arrested and taken to a military base outside the capital on Monday, jeopardising an 18-month transition back to democracy after a coup last August.
International powers including the US and military ally France, worried about worsening security in Mali and its neighbours, condemned the arrests and threatened sanctions.
The men resigned while in detention.
