The United Nations, European Union and African Union have expressed deep concern over a deepening political crisis in Mali, condemning the use of lethal force against anti-government demonstrators, and called for a dialogue.
Bloody protests began in the capital, Bamako, on Friday, with reports saying security forces fired live rounds during clashes with demonstrators, some of whom had occupied state buildings.
Demonstrators are demanding President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita resign.
