'The 15-member Economic Community of the West African States, which has mediated Mali's political strife, levied a trade and financial embargo on Mali after the coup.
The 15-nation bloc only lifted the sanctions after the military junta on October 5 handed power to a caretaker civilian government, which is meant to rule for 18 months before staging democratic elections.
The junta had initially pushed for the interim government to last for three years.
The bloc urged the interim government on January 12 to disband the junta.'
Yep the interim government did what they were told ie disband the junta to hasten the transition to civilian government.Meanwhile.....The head of state left for Paris for a 72 hour working visit at the invitation of President Macron.......................All good news and 100 jihadists taken out by the French.Thanks for the update.
