“The State Department’s Bureau of African Affairs called “for their immediate, unconditional release” in a tweet. A spokesman for the junta, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, denied that military officers had arrested N’Daw and Ouane, saying they could “move freely.” Army tanks paralyzed traffic in the West African nation’s capital, Bamako, in the hours after N’Daw and Ouane unveiled a new administration that excluded the junta members: the former defense minister, Sadio Camara, and security minister, Modibo Kone.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/05/24/mali-military-arrests/
