The group has been channelling deep anger over Mali's bloody eight-year armed uprising, a dire economy, and perceived government corruption.

The government has struggled to contain the conflict that first emerged in the north in 2012, before spreading to central Mali and neighbouring Burkina Faso and Niger.

Saphire16:
Mali's opposition June 5 Movement has repeatedly spurned the ECOWAS proposal and continues to demand the 75-year-old president's resignation

A 75 yr old that still wants to be president. Na wa oo

thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed

the president should do what he feels is best for his people

Very tough decisions

Saphire16:

He should use his church mind

Saphire16:
goodluck please come mediate on our behalf too

Our problems in this country doesn't really need mediation. We are too stubborn

Saphire16:
The conflict has claimed thousands of lives and driven hundreds of thousands from their homes.

Sad

Saphire16:
A “new government of national unity” should also be formed,

Now that's difficult to achieve

Saphire16:
But the mediators’ compromise offer is substantially similar to an earlier offer made by Keita, which the opposition has already rejected.

Abi

Saphire16:
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.

Serious matter

Saphire16:
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.

Just sad

Ninjanaija:
It is such a shame that the problem we are having in Africa is the worst we can have. Leadership problem.

True

Ninjanaija:
While an average Malian lives in poverty that is beyond abject, this defense minister is gallivanting around the world on cruises.

Politicians wey no dey fear

Ninjanaija:
The president appointed his son as minister of defense.

You Africans have problems

Ninjanaija:
Wow, the man is gradually building his international image

Great

Messenger Jonathan go and rest, you blew a big chance to turn the direction of this country instead you drove us to this terrorist called Buhari.

Lol! He didn't drive anyone

Oroyo10:
The Jonathan's team recommended that half of the judges in the parliamentary be appointed by the government while half is appointed by the opposition. So they have a balance court that will hear the election petition that is the bone of contention in the matter

A fat bone

Oroyo10:
