Unrest in Bamako as Mali’s political crisis mediation falters

In the Malian capital of Bamako, opponents of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita erect barricades and burn tyres to show their frustration at the weeks-long political crisis in the West African state. The 15-nation Economic Community of West African States ended a mediation mission in Mali on Sunday with a list of reform proposals. But the opposition spurned the proposals as they did not address its main demand — that Keita resign. IMAGES
