Mali has been rocked by protests against President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.
The opposition led by fiery cleric, Amadou Dicko, is insisting that the Constitutional Court be dissolved, and the President resign, before peace can return to the country.
Crisis had erupted after the court nullified results of 31 parliamentary seats.
Riots which broke out two weeks ago led to the killing of some protesters by security agents, causing the crisis to spiral out of control
