Mali Crisis: Summit With Buhari, Others End In Deadlock

President Muhammadu Buhari is seen after a meeting in Bamako on July 23, 2020 as West African leaders gather in a fresh push to end an escalating political crisis in the fragile state of Mali. – In an exceptional one-day summit, the presidents of Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Niger have scheduled meetings with Malian President and leaders of a protest movement clamouring for his resignation.

Earlier as the foreign leaders arrived on Thursday morning, a small group of demonstrators gathered outside the airport. The summit came on the heels of a five-day mediation mission from the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States , which ended on Sunday without reconciling the two sides. The poor nation of some 20 million people has been struggling to contain an insurgency that has driven hundreds of thousands of people from their homes since 2012, despite the presence of foreign troops.

Three days of clashes between protesters and security forces left 11 dead and 158 injured in the worst political unrest Mali had seen in years.
