Mali Protest Leader Urges Mass Anti-Government Rally

Mali Protest Leader Urges Mass Anti-Government Rally

Malian opposition leader Mahmoud Dicko on Wednesday urged people to protest en masse on Friday, despite recent government overtures to the resurgent political opposition in the war-torn West African state.

Keita announced on Tuesday that he would hold talks on establishing a unity government, in a move apparently intended to appease increasingly vocal opposition critics. Thousands of soldiers and civilians have died in the conflict, while hundreds of thousands more have had to flee their homes. “Nothing works in Mali and no part of the country is moving ,” Dicko said at a press conference in the capital Bamako on Wednesday.

In the most recent large attack, on Sunday, militants killed 27 soldiers in an ambush in volatile central Mali. But the poll was marred by jihadist attacks as well as the kidnapping of opposition leader Soumaila Cisse.
