Yeah they promised yeah right Mali soldiers promise elections after coup d'etat Soldiers who overthrew Mali's president in a coup d'etat that drew international condemnation pledged on Wednesday to restore stability and oversee a transition to elections within a "reasonable" period. President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita resigned and dissolved parliament late on Tuesday, hours after the coup leaders detained him at gunpoint, plunging a country already facing an armed movement against it as well as mass opposition protests deeper into crisis. www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/mali-soldiers-promise-elections-coup-200819094832716.html
