Soldiers take up arms as Mali crisis deepens: Live updates​

Developing situation comes amid large opposition protests demanding the departure of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.

Mali’s president and prime minister have been arrested by mutinying soldiers, according to several reports.

The development on Tuesday came hours after soldiers took up arms and staged an apparent mutiny at a key base in Kati, a town close to the capital, Bamako.

It followed a weeks-long political crisis that has seen opposition protesters taking to the streets to demand the departure of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, accusing him of allowing the country’s economy to collapse and mishandling a worsening security situation.

Sounds like an old fashioned Coup D"Etat. Heard about it hours ago, it was just a mutiny at a base. Now, it’s all of this other and more.


It will be interesting to see what this is all about.
