Soldiers who ousted Mali’s president in a coup promised to oversee elections within a ‘reasonable’ time, though it still isn't clear who's behind the revolt

BAMAKO - One of Mali’s most influential power brokers, Mahmoud Dicko, will withdraw from politics, his spokesman said, after a meeting on Wednesday with leaders of a military coup who have promised to oversee elections within a “reasonable” time.

The mutineers met Dicko, a Salafist preacher who electrified protesters during anti-Keita demonstrations in recent weeks that drew tens of thousands of people.Although no further details were shared, the move suggests at least part of the opposition movement is satisfied with the coup orchestrators’ promise to return to democratic practices.

A Malian security source identified three of the other junta leaders who appeared alongside Wague as Colonels Sadio Camara, Malick Diaw and Modibo Kone. Michael Shurkin, a former CIA officer now with the Rand Corporation, said the upheaval risked distracting Malian forces from their fight against jihadists linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State.

Following months of protests over corruption allegations, at least 14 people were killed in July in demonstrations called by the M5-RFP.
