Date: 2012-03-25

In Mali, tensions continue following yesterday's military coup that deposed President Amadou Toumani Toure. FSRN's Amadou Timbiné is in Mali's capital, Bamako, where the airport is closed and people have been told by the coup leaders not to go to work.  Amadou gave us an update on the situation on the streets. The United Nations Security Council, the United States and the West African Regional body Ecowas condemned the coup. France, the former colonial power, and the European Union have cut off aid. Meanwhile, Tuareg rebels continue to advance in the north of Mali. For analysis, we spoke with Dr Robin-Edward Poulton, Mali expert at Virginia Commonwealth University's School of World Studies.
