The military leadership in Mali has said that detained President Bah Ndaw and Prime Minister Moctar Ouane have resigned, completing a second military takeover within nine months in the West African country.
A spokesman for coup leader Colonel Assimi Goita said Wednesday that the two leaders tendered their resignation on the same day, two days after they were taken into custody.
