Mali Prez ousted from power Amadou Toumani Toure (President of the West African State of Mali)
ousted from power in a Military coup. Mali Soldiers stormed the
presidential palace and declared that they had seized control of the
country. The mutinous soldiers imposed a nationwide curfew.
A group of soldiers on the national television declared that the country is
under the control of the military’s National Committee for the Reestablishment
of Democracy and the Restoration of the State. They
announced suspension of Mali’s constitution and dissolved its institutions.
The Military complained that the civilian government had not done enough
to combat a rebellion by ethnic Tuareg separatists who want to carve out a homeland in the country’s northern desert.
Thus they held that the Military committee has decided to assume its responsibilities and end the incompetent regime of President Amadou Toumani Toure.
