Deposed Malian President, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, could be facing deportation to neighbouring West African country, Senegal, according to reports from an unnamed military source.
The new Malian authorities, who came to power after the recent coup, are discussing with Senegal the possible deportation of detained President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita to Senegal, a Malian military source told Sputnik.
“There are talks with Senegal on his (Keita’s) deportation (to Senegal)” the source said on late Thursday.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) announced on Thursday plans to send a high-ranking delegation to Mali to help restore constitutional order in the country.
