Mali anti-government protesters return to the streets

2020-08-12 14

Thousands of anti-government protesters return to the streets in Mali's capital, Bamako, resuming a months-long push to topple president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who they accuse of presiding over corruption.
The gathering marks the first time the June 5 Movement has staged a protest since July, when the opposition group declared a temporary truce in their campaign to oust Keita.
The group has channelled deep anger over a dire economy, perceived government corruption and Mali's eight-year jihadist conflict.
