Mali’s president and prime minister are said to have been arrested in what could be a coup. Pictures on social media show two cars carrying President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and Prime Minister Boubou Cisse.
A video shows protesters, who have been calling for Keita to quit, celebrating in the capital, Bamako.
There are also reports of heavy military presence near the radio station and the airport.

This coup is a lesson to those corrupt African leaders.
Show us the raw video
FRANCE is the Main Problem is West Africa !!! they use and misuse Africa, they should leave !!!
@CarpeDiem Which war? If you mean against france ( and thus nato) you are delusional. They have nuclear weapons and modern armes..
Speight Adrien with modern weapons and nuks..? they have no soldiers no heart no balls watch and see what’s gonna happen how they go home.
@CarpeDiem they can deploy around 500 000 soldiers but that excludes the drones, tanks and check even in conventionall bombing it would barely take a week to wipe out africa. Even if you win the conventionnel war the instant african troops enter NATO land they will send nukes in the thousands.
France colonisation died a long time ago, thankfully. the hostilities between the african nations is its first problem. India was a huge British colony and it lifted itself out and has made massive progress like China. There are thousands of countries in the african continent, they are not all colonies, and they are not all the same. They still have slavery and other ancient problems , with or without colonisation. Very easy to live in the present and blame the past without trying to make any positive changes.
@Newsnews17 Newsnews17 some of us use our brains instead of just extracting information from western or eastern media
As Africans, we support the military handling corrupt governments. The important thing is to choose the right person to lead. Next!!!!🤗
🖕🏿 EU and 🖕🏿 UN
They need to change Mali currencies
Western countries influence poor and developing countries (include China in this one as well as an “influencer”) and by “influence” I mean, CORRUPT, because we all know that the Western powers are massively corrupt. For instance, the United States used to pretend that it was a democracy (even though we here IN the United States know full well that this is a massive lie and one of the biggest jokes being told around the world, especially today with Donald Trump lollygagging around on Twitter and his golf courses while our country literally BURNS … anyway, I digress) that was “helping?’ other countries become “democracies?” themselves.
Corruption abounds in every country on this planet. Has anything changed since the Roman Empire or from the Khans or from ANY time in human history? Of course, not! Human beings don’t EVER learn their lessons, at least, not until AFTER they’re dead. But the living go on making the exact same mistakes over, and over, and over again.
It also looks to me like they don’t have COVID-19 in their country. Not that poor people in a poor country can afford face masks … and, in a coup, certainly, the concept of “social distancing” is out of the question.
See all the hyocritical medias are now covering what is happening in Mali, since Terrorism is killing the people they are busy romancing the corrupt African leaders, Shame to government of the world for coming into this , useless world leaders shameless people , what else can they do sacntions sanctions is what they can do, one day Africa will face this useless unions and world leaders who are backing this tyrants leaders
French troops must leave Africa…
France most go.
Why ? Does it look like this group has everything under control?
Good
Time to get rid of france puppets: macky sale, ouattara, ayedema, idriss debi , paul biya…
Encore une fois; bravo aux militaires du Mali. Mais leur lutte n’est pas fini; pour que le Mali avance, France doit deguerpir du Mali et des affaires du Mali. Vivre le Mali et vivre a un meilleur Mali.🧘🏿♂️🧘🏿♂️🧘🏿♂️
Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita was asked to save the port of Beirut. Presidents many 1 port could not save. The major General was blown up. The death of major-General Vyacheslav Smooth. Born by mistake. ISIL difficult fight and 1 blow and the corpse of Vyacheslav Gladkikh.1 hit is cheaper than a land mine. Land mine roads in North-Eastern Syria. 1 VDV blew up a helicopter and 100 VDV corpses.Vyacheslav Gladkikh from 100 airborne troops is not present.Foolishly, the family did not kill the major General. ISIS will give money to the family for murder. Not enough for your family and friends. Land mines are expensive.1 hit and a corpse is cheaper. Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh was asked to save the port. The major General doesn’t care. Pay 15 billion us dollars for the port of narod. The major General was killed for blowing up the port. For the port boys. Major General Vyacheslav Gladkikh’s task is to save the port at any cost. The explosion of the port is a disgrace to the Russian Federation.
This should go on not only Mali but even any other countries, governments which fail to rule their countries
Good job Malians brothers,
Very happy viva Malian people.
The former President has suspended the constitution so which constitution are they talking about?
Mali never celebrate revolution you to focus on front wht will happen
Alot of Nations they attempted the revolution are very hurt
African nations never freedom till the end of the world
Everyone knows what happened to past African Presidents who attempted Expelling France 🇫🇷. Among European countries, France has the highest levels of military interventions with Africa in part to maintain colonial contracts and to insure French control of Natural resources . After independence, France signed colonial currency maintenance agreements with countries such as Côte d’Ivoire, the Central African Republic, Djibouti, Gabon, Senegal, Cameroon, and others.Everyone knows what happened when countries try to break those agreements. After decolonisation, France established formal colonial contribution agreements with many francophone countries in sub-Saharan Africa.These arrangements allowed France to establish itself as a big brother and maintain hegemony in the region. France adopted an interventionist policy in Africa, resulting in 122 military interventions that averaged once a year from 1960 to the mid-1990s and included countries such as Benin (Operation Verdier in 1991), Central African Republic (Operation Barracuda in 1979 and Operation Almandin in 1996), Chad (Opération Bison in 1968–72, Opération Tacaud in 1978, Operation Manta in 1983 and Opération Épervier in 1986), Comoros (Operation Oside in 1989 and Operation Azalee in 1995), Democratic Republic of Congo (Operation Léopard in 1978 and Operation Baumier in 1991 when it was Zaire, and Operation Artemis in 2003), Djibouti (Operation Godoria in 1991), Gabon (1964 and Operation Requin in 1990), Ivory Coast (Opération Licorne in 2002), Mauritania (Opération Lamantin in 1977), Republic of Congo (Opération Pélican in 1997), Rwanda (Operation Noroît in 1990–93, Operation Amaryllis in 1994 and Opération Turquoise in 1994), Togo (1986), Senegal (prevent a coup d’état in 1962)[29] and Sierra Leone (Operation Simbleau in 1992).France often intervened to protect French nationals, to put down rebellions or prevent coups, to restore order or to support particular African leaders.
Uhuru Raila Murathe Matiang’I and Madam fossil Atwoli must watch these
Baboo See See LOL
Oh africa my Africa 💔
Nigeria Next.
Daily Mass killings taking place in Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, and several other african countries maintained under so-called Democracy and all these nefarious media houses were and are silent. A mere Coup takes place with nobody killed, and they are all reporting it. This shows that all is good and dandy when Genocides are being conducted in Africa.
A.U. Ecowas, W.H.O, U.N, are useless or Nefarious. Eventually, something will definately give that will be uncontrollable.
It won’t work in Nigeria….the north might accept but not the south
@Chimenum Wobo You do not know the North. The question is Who is the North? Because the POLITICAL North simply means the non indigenous Hamitic foolanis systematically carrying out a Genocide against the indigenous ethnic groups of Northern minorities and Middle-Belt under the GUISE of a unifeid government. The biggest Landmass and population of indigenous Nigerians are actually the Northern minorities. People are slow to anger but when foolanis are allowed to carry sophisticated weapons and wipe out whole towns and villages, replacing them with their own people while the Natives are NOT allowed to arm themselves…you think that is going to continue just like that? The reason there is still a government in nigeria is simply because nigeria is not, was not, and will never be a country in the real sense because its many different ethnic groups or nations forced together as one and this makes it easy for the foolanis to take out ethnic group after ethnic group. And they can take out the south very easily after the middlebelt which will be no cakewalk, because the south entirely is very small in Landmass. The entire southwest can fit into two states in the middlebelt. the southeast can fit into one (1) state in the middlebelt. Do your research.
The Malian people are celebrating with their military what is wrong when the people don’t want France ? The problem in Africa is France.
French colonizers still instigating military coups and wars in Africa
Military coups doesn’t solve any problem in Mali, foreign interest to distory Africa with Islamic state caliphate is now gaining weight with this development.
Watching from oil rich state Bayelsa,Nigeria
African youtubers, please keep your eyes on the story. We cannot trust the international media. You seek the truth and put it on blast. African youtubers its a coup again. Find out who is behind this.
This is wrong , how long will leaders in Africa continue to be puppets of foreign government, very soon they will be tired of military and want civil government, more so that France is responsible for the failure of security in the north, how can France claim superiority in military, equipment and weapon yet has been a total failure to even restrain arm Turks
Frenchie coup with uncle Sam weapons
Jagveer, uncle sam will need a coup to get rid of 45. He won’t back down
Free Africa ! United Africa ! Peace and love ” Mali ba puissance”
Did someone say CIA?
This is Mali’s internal affair and all other regional states should not interfere. This is about sovereignty.
Canada should do the same before Trudeau destroys All of Canada
There is no good coup,we have seen this before.
Hahahahahahahaha,France behind it and trying to cover it up by pretending to go UN,since when did a colonizer pay tribute to a slave master unless when selling or buying .
Kick France out of Mali and No military rule. Return to civilian rule in less than 2 weeks time.
EVEN UGANDA PRESIDENT NEEDS THE SAME THING AND HIS FAMILY
You need to know that Africans don’t eat constitutions
Very sad

congrats to Mali
Respect Mali as long as da millitary doesn’t turn on da people later n dey conduct a free n fair election immediately…i wann’ see dis kind next in Nigeria!
Everyone knows about the colonial currency called a France CFA and The Continuation of Slavery in French speaking African countries. When it was created in 1945, the CFA franc originally meant franc des colonies françaises d’Afrique. Having survived African independence, it continues to circulate in fourteen African countries divided into two monetary zones in West and Central Africa. Despite the Africanisation of its management in the 1970s, it is still governed by the operating mechanisms inherited from the colonial period. In addition to the manufacture in France of CFA franc banknotes and coins, it is the French government that decides on the parity of this currency. The latter is represented with a right of veto in the bodies of the two central banks that issue the CFA franc. It also holds half of the foreign exchange reserves of African countries in return for a financial guarantee that has rarely been effective.A taboo subject for many years, invisible in western media and academic writings, the CFA franc has gradually imposed itself in public debates thanks to a significant mobilization of pan-Africanist movements and intellectuals from the continent and the diaspora over the last five years. It is now difficult for scholars focused on the region to remain indifferent.
Faced with growing pressure from African public opinion, President Emmanuel Macron, who initially wanted to ignore the growing movement, declaring it a ‘non-issue’ for France, eventually conceded that the time had come to turn the page. Thus, on 21 December in Abidjan, Emmanuel Macron, alongside his Ivorian counterpart Alassane Ouattara, announced a ‘historic’ reform of the CFA franc which circulates in West Africa, excluding for the time being its equivalent in Central Africa. From now on, France will no longer have representatives in the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) and the latter will no longer be obliged to deposit its foreign exchange reserves with the French Treasury. Finally, the CFA franc will be renamed ‘Eco’. It is on the basis of these three announced changes that the presidents of France and Côte d’Ivoire proclaimed with great pomp and ceremony the ‘end of the CFA franc’.
Next is kenya uhuru must go
African union of fools cannot subdue the revolution in Mali. I hope the military is motivated to transition to civilian government with a fair election. please waste those ousted officials for the sake of progress.
These souls need to turn back to god.they have turned away
We are the gentile olive tree
We are returning to the holy father.
Our brethren olive tree has turned back to the holy father.
We are coming to our lamp posts
We are witnessing
Wtf is mali
Assalu alaikum why my phone is always hung
What happen in africa
Copy paste across the continent. Delete ALL of Macron’s puppets.
Why out sider always interferes in Africa well fear and Africa can’t interfere in there Why every country’s that have Resources money don’t value anything
We Malians we want Mali must get out of an organized group against
Mali you can smart than this,this has nothing to do with Mali. One of the stupid politician must bein bought by white supremacist to take this leaders out. This is what happend in African continent if s powerful leader in African is against White supremacist,the this happend that they take the president down or even kill them,if white people don’t get what they want from any country in African continent this is what they do. Listen,you will hear that they have killed them,stupid millitary come on wake up,maney is not everything in this earth. Take care of your people and close your ears from white supremacist.
Gambian president mr adama barrow is the next. We dont need any more corrupt leadership
Send the Malian ousted president to France. –
Islam is anarchy. From Muwaiah to Sisi only brutal ,strong rulers can enforce political stability for their lifetime. Ottoman,Mughal empires were predominantly non Muslim. That is why they lasted for generations. But for US military might, gulf countries would have ashes
The President is puppet for the French. He never a leader for our brothers,and Sisters
The Europeans ,and French behind everything going on and the motherland as well the 🌎 world
Get way of any foreign military government as well our black people political party,such police military that seeking to hurt our countries,in our people the West,France behind all the problems happened to our people,we have the same problem in Haiti with these foreign governments
This has nothing to do with the French. Keep your troops in Europe!
The French government is a proxy for Israel and the Jews
This corrupt leaders must be pushed out of power, Nigeria is NEXT. All hail Biafra
now no more french intervene, Africa changes especially in Muslim countries. salute from Pakistan to Mali. but everyone must support democracy.
Hope the late Buhari team is watching Malian nightmare
The major problems afflicting the nation are instability in the north & the Islamist attacks. I don’t think a change to a military form of government can change anything.
What is Nigeria waiting for?
The problem in Africa is that ,the opposition understood the feelings of the people before they came into the power. Immediately they get the power ,they just forget all the promises and let the people down. What the Africans need is good governances and immediately they don’t get it they become restless. This is the era of social media and the whole world are one now. A lot of Africa are in diaspora and communicating daily with their people back home telling them how normal life supposed to be from their respective countries. The people back home knows all this right. Coming to the coup , it is not acceptable but in this situations ,it is the last resort to flush out the unacceptable government from their oppressive rules. What the people needs is good governance and let the army decide for them . After all the army is part of the people and let them be.
😎🇹🇷🤘
those arm group u speak of are always sponsord by france to destabilize the region
I’m a Moroccan and I tell you France is the cancer that needs to be kicked out for real from Africa.

The illiterates and the dummies always congregate in YouTube comments. African women and children are the first to suffer in these hostile take overs by other african radicalists. Stop blaming external forces and westerners and asking for their charity with the same complaining mouth.
Hurry up and hang them.
Most of you don’t know that you are a victim of Remote Nueral Monitoring and Remote Nueral Manipulation. Basically mind control. Gangstalking. Expose the crime to stop it.
All because of GOLD
Yes yes Africa have to Tolkien about the Mali stop due this type s system s day have to thinking about the Doveloment that’s the most importante thing s,
Just a vicious cycle of ignorance for Power w/o authority. The ppl are celebrating what? Such poverty and unrest & everyone wants POWER to continue filling their pockets and persuaded as fools by the West, Asians, & Europe. I continue to pray for this vast Continent.
