Military coup in Mali.
President Ibrahim Boubachar Keita has resigned after being captured by a section of the military in the West African country of Mali. In a televised speech, he also announced that the government had dissolved parliament. He says he does not want any bloodshed to keep him in power. Earlier, he and his wife, Sissy, were detained and taken to a military base in the capital, Bamako. Other countries in the region and France have condemned those who have done so.
Earlier, rebel forces cut off a military base 15 kilometers from the capital, Bamako, and took control of the camp. There is dissatisfaction among Mali’s soldiers over salary allowances and resentment over the ongoing fighting among jihadists. At the same time, there is a lot of anger over the former president. Keita bid farewell for the second time in the 2016 presidential election. But corruption and economic mismanagement, as well as increasing communal violence, have angered many. Colonel Marindia, deputy commissioner of Mali’s Kati military camp, and General Shadiokamara are said to be leading the uprising.
After capturing the military base, 15 kilometers from Bamako, the rebels moved to the capital. Where people gathered to demand the resignation of the Prime Minister welcomed them. On Tuesday afternoon, his president entered the bus building and detained the president and prime minister. The president’s son, the National Assembly speaker, the foreign minister and the finance minister were reportedly arrested.
