The President of Mali, Ibrahim Keita has announce his resignation on state TV few hours after him and the Malian Prime Minister were detained by mutinous soldiers

There has been a lot of protests and demonstrations in the past two months requesting him to step down three years before his final term was due to end.

Speaking on national broadcaster ORTM, a distressed Keita wearing a mask amid the COVID-19 pandemic said his resignation was effective immediately. A banner across the bottom of the television screen referred to him as the “exiting president.”

Keita, who was democratically elected and re-elected, was left with few choices after the mutinous soldiers seized weapons from the armory in the garrison town of Kati and then advanced on the capital of Bamako.

Many Malians can't hide their happiness about the new development..

I know of a country were thier President will never resign despite killings, high unemployment, high inflation rate, zero development, high poverty rate, high e.t c bring your ear let me tell you the name of the country .

Finally
Hmm
This country is faced with the same security and corruption issue like Nigeria
Now I understand why Buhari has kept these service chiefs irrespective of the calls for their sack
Fear of coup is the beginning of wisdom

Bye

Next

Must we always wait for the military to help us reset our brains?

#AfricanLeaders

Hmmmmnnn

Military are always the most patriotic citizens, always doing the needful.

Is this not a coup d'etat?

Oya go and live in Mali nah... Who stopped you?

The guy resigned at gun point by the way, and not because he is ''better than Nigerians''. Umu inferiority complex.

The only thing democratic in Nigeria is that there is always an election in every four years.

the military that shoukld do same in Nigeria are steady cashing out with Boko haram . Shame

What's happening in Mali is the real reason Buhari won't change service chiefs..

Their loyalty to him is not in question.. No matter how ineffective they become/have become at handling the security challenges of Nigeria , he'll stick by them.

Algeria protest


Now mali


When will Nigeria protest

This is a coup!

Lets see what the world will do.

If the president is so bad, the only acceptable way to force him out is peaceful protest until he resigns or he is impeached.

They had spoken the language he understood.

Are you sure he didn't resign under duress after being detained by the military.

Any which ways, it's for the better.

ousted out

Malians can go and kee themselves already. After seeing the hate on Nigerians by South Africans and recently Ghanaians, I don't give a fvck about any African country now.
