Mali’s transitional president and prime minister resigned
during mediation efforts Wednesday after being arrested in an apparent second
military coup in nine months, a top junta aide and an international diplomat
said.
President Bah Ndaw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane, tasked
with steering the return to civilian rule after a coup last August, had been
held since Monday and resigned “before the mediator”, said Baba Cisse, special
advisor to junta boss Assimi Goita, adding that negotiations were under way for
their release and the formation of a new government.
