Mali transition talks end with no deal, military leaders agree to release Keita

Talks between West African mediators and Mali’s military coup leaders have ended with an agreement to release the overthrown president. But no deal on a transitional government.
The mediation team from the regional bloc Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) would report to heads of state on progress made before a summit on Mali later this week, Colonel Ismael Wague said on Monday, but the military spokesman added that the final decision on the makeup of an interim transitional administration would be decided “by Malians”.
The country was plunged into a political crisis after former President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita was forced to resign.
