FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Junta chief of staff Colonel Moussa Sinko Coulibaly announced on Saturday that the coup leader Amadou Haya Sanogo has agreed to come up with proposals “very quickly” to restore constitutional order in the country, after talks with Burkina Faso’s President Blaise Compaore.
The West African leaders have given an ultimatum to the putschists, who toppled Mali’s President Amadou Toumani Toure in a coup and seized power on March 22, to hand over power by Monday or face sanctions, including a crippling closure of Mali’s borders to trade.
Compaore has been named by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as the primary mediator in the crisis.
Tuareg rebels, based in the north of the country, seized control of the town of Kidal on Friday. Their advance continued on Saturday and they reportedly forced army soldiers out of main bases in the town of Gao.
Gao is bigger and strategically more important than Kidal and the army’s bases for operations in the north are located in that town.
The rebels are surrounding Timbuktu, the last town in the area that they call the Azawad, the territory they want to control as their independent state.
The army led the coup against Toure’s government after severely criticizing him for what they described his mishandling of the unrest in the north which began with rebel’s attacks in mid-January.
