Malian soldiers reveal next action, reason for president’s removal
Soldiers of the Malian armed forces who executed the mutiny that led to the resignation of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita have explained their action.
Recall that Keita resigned when soldiers arrested and detained him at gunpoint.
While speaking on Wednesday, they said Keita’s removal was to save Mali from further crises.
In the Speech they announced plan to form a civilian transitional government that will organize fresh elections.
Col. Ismael Wague, the spokesman for the mutineers, in a broadcast, called them the “National Committee for the Salvation of the People”.
