The African Union (AU) on Tuesday demanded the immediate release of Mali's interim President and two senior officials whom the military detained on Monday in a coup attempt.
President Félix Tshisekedi, chairman of the AU, demanded an “immediate and unconditional” release of the Malian President and his Prime Minister.
