Mali

An all-civilian government will be set up in Mali with fresh general elections to be held following the ouster of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.

The statement was made by leader of the military group which overthrew the government in Wednesday’s coup.

President Keita in an address early on Wednesday broadcast on state TV, announced his resignation to avoid bloodshed.

The ousted leader had earlier been taken into custody alongside top government officials such as the Prime Minister, Speaker of the National Assembly, and senior military officers.

International condemnation had trailed the removal of Keita from power with the United Nations Security Council holding an emergency meeting on the issue on Wednesday.

The sub-regional bloc, ECOWAS had imposed a border blockage while describing the action if the soldiers as a setback to its mediation efforts.

The coup unfolded just as the ECOWAS special envoy to the Mali political conflict, former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, was meeting President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
