The rejection was the latest setback in efforts to end Mali’s political standoff that has spiralled into violent clashes which have left 11 people dead.

After several anti-Keita protests last month, the latest rally on July 10 turned violent and deepened the political impasse.

Three days of clashes between protesters and security forces left 11 dead and 158 injured, according to an official tally — in the bloodiest bout of political unrest in years.

Mali’s constitutional court in April tossed out about 30 results from the elections in a decision that handed seats to members of Keita’s party, triggering protests.

But the mediators’ compromise offer is substantially similar to an earlier offer made by Keita, which the opposition has already rejected.

A “new government of national unity” should also be formed,

Mali’s opposition alliance has rejected a plan proposed by international mediators to defuse tensions, sticking to its demand that President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita must resign.

Yes, they rejected it but the president has decided to do his part of the plan.

Swathes of Mali lie outside of government control because of a jihadist insurgency that began in the north in 2012, before spreading to the centre, as well as into Burkina Faso and Niger.

The conflict has claimed thousands of lives and driven hundreds of thousands from their homes.

Mali seems to be stable for now

I just hope the settle for peace. Eventually, they will still have to talk. The government has shown good will, the opposition should also do the same

And when the interest of the people are put first. It will be very easy to settle.

But the question is, are they both fighting for the interest of the people.

Mali's President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita appointed nine judges to the Constitutional Court by decree as part of a compromise intended to ease the country's months-long political crisis.

The Sahel nation is in the grip of a political impasse between Keita and an increasingly strident opposition intent on securing his resignation.

Last month, 11 people died over three days of unrest following an anti-Keita protest in the worst political strife Mali has seen in years.

Good will.. very important

Mali's opposition June 5 Movement has repeatedly spurned the ECOWAS proposal and continues to demand the 75-year-old president's resignation

Officials from Mali's presidency, who declined to be named, said the judges will be sworn in on Monday. Opposition figures appear unlikely to back down, however.

The June 5 Movement earlier on Friday said it would stage nationwide anti-Keita demonstrations on Tuesday
