Mali said on Monday it regretted sanctions imposed by the West African regional bloc Ecowas on some members of the ruling junta which staged two military coups in less than a year.
Mali was rocked by coups in August 2020 and May 2021 and swathes of the vast desert nation country are not under government control due to a jihadist insurgency that emerged in the north in 2012.
