The African Union (AU) has suspended Mali a day after its leaders were detained by mutineering soldiers and the president forced out.
The AU’s 15-member security council “suspends Mali from the African Union until restoration of constitutional order and demands release of President Boubacar Keita, the Prime Minister and other government officials forcibly detained by the army,” the AU Peace and Security Council said on Twitter.
Keita said he had stepped down to avoid “bloodshed” after he was detained in a coup, whose leaders pledged new elections after taking the president and Prime Minister Boubou Cisse into custody.
The 55-member AU had already condemned the “unconstitutional change of government” in the West African nation.
Joining a growing international chorus, including the US and the European Union, which demanded the immediate release of the detained leaders.
Mali has joined a handful of African nations in recent years to be suspended from the African bloc, a move that bars them from all summits and meetings.
Mali's neighbor Burkina Faso was suspended in 2015 for its own military coup. Sudan was excluded last year during a bloody crisis there, while Egypt was suspended in 2013 when the army overthrew the elected president, Mohamed Morsi.
