 African Union urges Mali junta for 'roadmap' back to civilian rule


The West African country has been ruled by juntas since back-to-back coups in 2020 and 2021.


The African Union on Saturday urged Mali to provide a post-coup transition 'roadmap', warning such a move was needed to steer the country back to democratic rule.


Earlier this week Mali's military junta ordered the suspension of all political activities - citing a need to maintain public order - and the African Union expressed "grave concern" at the move, saying it was likely to hinder the return to democracy.


In a statement, AU chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat expressed "grave concern" at the latest developments, saying he was "calling on the authorities to reconsider this decision and work on a road map aiming at completing the ongoing transition process."
