China News Service, August 19, according to comprehensive foreign media reports, on the 18th local time, a military mutiny occurred in Mali, and President Keita and Prime Minister Cisse were detained in the military camp. Hours after the mutiny, President Keita announced his resignation.

  According to reports, on the 18th, a mutiny occurred at a military base in Bamakokati, the capital of Mali, and Cisse called for dialogue with the government. Soon after, the mutineers arrested Keita and Cisse.

  According to the latest news from Al Jazeera, Keita has announced his resignation, saying that he does not want bloodshed.

  Unless outside the alliance, international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and countries such as France have condemned the mutiny.

  In March 2012, the military mutiny that took place in this military camp in Katy Town turned into a coup, and the then President Toure resigned before the end of his term. This coup also led to the deterioration of the security situation in northern Mali.
