Mali City Erupts In Protest After Police Kill Teen
Protests have erupted in the western Malian city of Kayes after a police officer shot a youngster dead, escalating simmering anti-government sentiment in the area.
Mamadou Zoumana Sidibe, the governor of the Kayes region, said Tamboura’s friends torched a police station during the night in response.“This morning tension is still high,” Sidibe said. The unrest follows a string of anti-government protests in Kayes, concerning both Mali’s legislative election and its coronavirus restrictions.
Protesters took to the streets in several cities, including Kayes, when the Supreme Court declared the winners of the contested seats in late April.
