Will Mali’s president be forced to step down? | Inside Story

It’s been described as the worst civil unrest Mali has seen in decades. Violent anti-government protests this week left several people dead.
President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has promised to form a national unity government. The country’s been without one since elections earlier this year.
He has dissolved the constitutional court.
That’s faced controversy since it overturned provisional results from parliamentary elections in March.
But will that be enough to restore peace?
And what if turmoil spirals out of control?

Presenter: Adrian Finighan

Guests
Fatima Al Ansar, special adviser the the Malian Minister of Foreign Affairs
Noufal Abboud, Director of The Nordic Center for Conflict Transformation, and a Specialist on North West Affrican Affairs
