Mali president, prime minister detained by mutinous soldiers

A regional official says Mali's president and prime minister are now in the custody of mutinous soldiers, sparking fears the country could be plunged into further political turmoil.
Mali's president and prime minister have been detained by mutinying soldiers on Tuesday night, according to a regional official.

The two leaders were taken into custody in an apparent mutiny, army officer Sidi Gakou told DPA.

Earlier on Tuesday, soldiers took up arms at the military base in Kati, a town 15 kilometers (nine miles) from Bamako, and began arresting senior military officers.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Tuesday said soldiers had launched a "mutiny" and urged them to immediately return to their barracks.

"This mutiny comes at a time when, for several months now, ECOWAS has been taking initiatives and conducting mediation efforts with all the Malian parties," the 15-nation bloc said in a statement.

A 'volatile' situation
Sources told DW that Colonel Sadio Camara could be behind the military uprising. DW also learned that several high-ranking politicians and officials have been arrested, including the Minister of Finance Abdoulaye Daffe and the chief of staff of the National Guard.

The national radio station ORTM was evacuated. According to ORTM employees, a column of possible putschists is said to be on its way to the station.

DW correspondent Mahamadou Kane, who is in Bamako, said: "At the present time the situation in Kati and Bamako is still very confusing. Panic reigns in both places. It's also not completely clear, whether it is just a mutiny or a military coup."

"More and more people are gathering at Independence Square in support of the government-critical M5-RFP movement that wants to see the resignation of the president and the prime minister Boubou Cisse. They seem to support the military but it remains unclear what the demands of the military are."

"Access to Kati and strategic places in the capital have been blocked for hours. The situation remains volatile," added Kane.

Anti-government protests linked to M5 began in July over what they say are failures to restore security and deal with corruption. At least 14 people have been killed in the recent unrest, according to the United Nations and human rights activists.

The French and Norwegian embassies in the West African country reacted quickly, urging people to stay inside their homes in response to the unrest.

The French Foreign Ministry later condemned the mutiny "in the strongest terms" and urged the Mali military to return to barracks. Over 5,000 French troops are stationed across the Sahel region that includes Mali to counter jihadi violence.

Coup or mutiny? Both could aid the government
Etienne Fakaba Sissoko, head of Mali's Center for Political, Economic and Social Research and Analysis, told DW that the move would help the government, irregardless of whether there was a coup or a mutiny — as neither would likely have the full backing and would cause splits in the military and the public. The confusion caused by this could be a "lifeline" to the regime, invoking it to restore constitutional legality and legitimacy. "In this way, the government could gain international support that could then demand an end to attempts at destabilization."

Kati saw a mutiny in 2012 that led to a coup d'etat that ousted then-President Amadou Toumani Toure and contributed to the fall of northern Mali into the hands of jihadi militants.

what's the difference between Nigeria and mali
One has more resources to loot than the other.that the only difference.

With the level of civilization in the world and great transformation that has come over humanity, these ones are behaving like animals.

History has taught us many lessons. Why will some people take the path that will surely lead to tears, pain and agony?

One country like dat need this action badly to gather all her enemies and gas them all after ensuring they point out where their illegally acquired stashes are stored up.

According to news report, na the same security unrest for the Northern part of Mali cause this mutiny/coup. The soldiers dey vex say since the President enter office 7 years ago him never fit quell the unrest.

Isn't this very ironic? No wonder dem dey send envoy go there to seek peace wey dem no fit assure their citizens.

Ekpa

That other one sef dey allow the hailings of "peaceful man, humble man, gentleman, Democrat" dey enter him head not knowing say na mumuism him dey display to begin allow dem dey send am yeye message like small pikin because obviously dem don hold am for blokos begin blackmail am the way Putin dey blackmail Trump or dem don tell am say dem go handover give am again.

It is a righteous path if it frees the people from the hand of the brain dead looters and oppressors they call leaders.


As you can see from the picture, they people are happy.

Why are all black countries this disorganized, Poverty stricken and Corrupt??


Is it a curse to be black? I'm trying to figure something out!!

Nigeria una dey see una Mate ba

Gid bless Imam Mahmoud Dicko

Like a Tax collector, the only thing Religious Leaders in Nigeria know how to do is to collect from their hungry congregation.. Nothing else.

Can coup happen here in Nigeria again

We're way bigger than that now

The citizens have gotten to the point of no return. No peace path will work there now. This is what I mean when I said Nigerian military are weak, corrupt and useless, not helping matters in Nigeria.

..

The people seem happy with d development

As you can see from pics and videos, Malians are happy at the new development.

That's enough justification.

I hope the hypocritic US won't send armoured tanks down there in the name of 'democrazy'.

Okay

Verdict : 404


A united youth is an unstoppable force

Madness in Africa!

the people were happy when IBB took over and same for Abacha....nothing good ever comes out of a govt that was established by force for almost all the to make happen will be either through sheer force or intimidation

Africa with Coup
I think we need to be recolonized again in Africa

Dangerous, Mali as a country is on path of destruction with this development. Nations are not built this way. Overthrowing Sagari's govt was still a major mistake in our history.

Naija leaders should learn

Another wave of coup breezing through Africa. I hope young soldiers can see what their cmates are doing in other countries and act. Instead they come and cry and curse buratai or buhari.

Dying for nothing.

fulanis have finally taken over in mali

Arrest Buhari now
