The local transition monitoring committee, made up of ECOWAS, the African Union and MINUSMA, with members of the international community, expresses its deep concern at the situation in Mali marked by the arrest of the President of the transition, the Prime Minister and some of their collaborators.

They strongly condemn the attempted coup that occurred following the publication of the decree appointing members of the government by the President of the transition on the proposal of the Prime Minister.

They demand the immediate and unconditional release of these authorities and stress that the military elements detaining them will be held personally responsible for their security.
