A man holds a sign reading “To lead well Mali right now, it is the army” as supporters of the CNSP take part in a rally on Independence square in Bamako, on September 8, 2020, following a call by the
MP4 for a gathering to support the role of the army in Mali’s transition phase after a military junta overthrew the president. – The West African regional bloc ECOWAS on September 7 called on Mali’s military junta, which seized power last month, to appoint a civilian to head a transition government by September 15.
The three-day talks mark the second round of discussions between the young officers who overthrew President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on August 18 and civilian representatives, many of whom had campaigned for Keita to resign. Discussions over appointing a military officer as president provoked strong disagreements among the delegates on Saturday, an AFP journalist saw.
The 15-nation Economic Community of West African States, for its part, is insisting that Mali’s ruling army officers hand over power within 12 months.
