Mali MPs submit no-confidence motion in government
Bamako - Lawmakers from the majority party and opposition in Mali submitted a motion of no confidence Wednesday against the government they blame for failing to stop violence in the country's centre."We are a number of MPs from the opposition and from the majority.
The protest was called by Muslim religious leaders, organisations representing the Fulani herding community, opposition parties and civil society groups following the massacre of some 160 people in the village of Ogossagou on March 23. Mali has been struggling to restore stability since Islamist extremists took control of the country's north in early 2012, prompting a military intervention by France.
Extremism and lawlessness continue, sharpening ancient rivalries in the ethnic mosaic of central Mali.
