Im sara kelly well come to the Program Leaders of a military coup in the west african nation of mali say that they will enact political transition and stressed out fresh elections within a reasonable time this after malis president ybor he will back our kaita announced his resignation just hours after being detained by armed soldiers his ousting follows. Months of protest over corruption and economic mismanagement while the events have been met with jubilation inside of mali they have sparked alarm among international observers. Gunshots that arent meant to kill but to celebrate in this condo the gates the jeering crowd sitting inside is believed to be the arrested president they are him because kita and other officials and later on in the day a weary looking president appeared on state t. V. If today it pleased some elements of our armed forces. To conclude that it would end their intervention. Do i really have a choice. I submit to it because i do not wish any blood to be shed to keep me in power. Through. The coup leaders also appeared on state television that when a transition that would lead to fresh elections. Their takeover started as a meeting me among soldiers at an army base near the capital bamako. After seizing weapons and taking high ranking prisoners they then moved to the president s house surrounding it and firing gunshots into the air. Crowds of antigovernment protesters cheered on as a democratically elected leader was arrested and driven away. So you are very happy because this is a liberation for the people of mali all of malis people were waiting for this day and we were waiting for the president anything man to allow us to breathe today we dont have any words to express whats in our hearts thank god and may the president and his gang leave us a pace i dont know. Mali has been gripped by months of antigovernment protest with many accusing key to the administration of corruption and incompetence especially when it came to preventing a jihad this insurgency from the north. Well the president s resignation was celebrated by those in the streets the takeover was roundly condemned by the International Community eco west a west African Regional bloc pledged to close land and air borders to mali as a result. It must feel like deja vu for the military coup was launched from the very same base in 2012 talking with then president and sending the country into a period of chaos. This time around the people of mali would be hoping for a smooth transition of power but its still unclear just who that power will be handed to. Them lets get more now on the coup in mali im joined by my colleague tommy paul joining us from africa we saw the images there of them celebrating in the streets how has this been received by the broader population would you say well you know mentioned there have been protests going on for months millions have been unhappy with the state of things in the country and so seeing the fact that the president wasnt giving in despite their months of protests and all of a sudden he has been pushed away i think that is why these people have come out when the soldiers were roaring into the capital bamako crowds came out to cheer them and that showed some sense that this has been to some extent a popular cool locally but he was elected just 2 years ago so i mean what happened in the meantime why did turn on him and thats what sparked the protest in the 1st place the fact that people felt that the government was not doing what it was supposed to do they accuse of corruption they accuse that of being generally incompetent in its in its work the president of nepotism appointing his own cronies into government including his son. As well you have to remember mali also has this insurgency going on particularly in the central northern parts of the country that has not been sorted out as well and so there has been all this discontent why is the government not being able to implement these issues that has been a Peace Agreement that was signed in 2015 between the government and some of these different rebel movements and in other parts of the country that has not been fully implemented as well theres a lot of dissatisfaction. The way the government is handling things and thats why such a rebellion has had the kind of support it has we see upon have on the streets busy now the political consequences for the country so i mean this is the 2nd coup in 8 years what comes next for this country thats difficult because were still in those early stages will the military 1st of all be trusted to do what they claim they want to do which is to force the president out and then have i dont know its not clear exactly what they want whether another government to come in place with someone of their own choosing so and thats why echo us the regional body the west African Regional body has come out and denounced condemned this is cool because this kind of thing has happened not just in mali but in the region as well and these. Ecowas would say that military movements like this cannot always be trusted theyre seeing the People Voices in form of democracy not just peoples voices on the streets alone but through a formal democratic process thats what eko us and and mollys partners abroad are calling for so theres a lot at stake in terms of malis on presidency in terms of the stability of the god of the country as a whole in terms of security as well as i mentioned that is still shaky and so theres so many issues on how the country the will to move forward over the next few days everyone waiting with bated breath to see what happens next now in mali tommy a lot of reporting thank you.

U. Which is visiting today to discuss fellow roost 2 leaders there have any leverage in this situation. I think that you has a lot of influence here bill roosts has always seen itself as a european country it is in the middle of europe are surrounded not only by russia but also by the human poland and lithuania is the European Union may not have that close economic ties with general says that russia has but it does definitely have political influence the opposition has repeatedly emphasized how important. Is for them to do it however it is not the e. U. At the end of the day that has the final say what and when it comes to the countrys future but the ability to see and people. But however we know support is also coming in from russia and id like to ask you about that support from russia how serious it is especially you know if we are seeing leaders getting involved. Well although a below rules is extremely important to russia its Vladimir Putin says lost a loyal ally in the post soviet space although last weekend when the protests reached a climax. To putin twice i think russia will definitely try to avoid any military intervention this option would be possible only in the most extreme case which is if the billows in state collapses and turns into a classic failed state and any other case such interference would irrevocably change the attitude of the Russian Society towards russia which is by the way now quite positive or neutral we havent seen a single entity russian slogan in recent days also such potential interference would definitely leads to a new crisis in relations between russia and the west certainly protests in belarus are a thorn imputing side because they show the russians here whats a protest against a long term strongman leader who putin actually also is can provoke as the opposition here in russia may see a kind of dress rehearsal for a possible change of power here one day but bludgeon it putin is still acting very cautiously it seems like he is waving hes options but the latest on the situation in balad as youre a shadow reporting thank you.
