Keita was forced out of presidency amid the political unrest in Mali.
The leader of the soldier group told journalists on Tuesday the Ibrahim Keita and Cisse are in their custody in Mali’s capital, Bamako.
On Wednesday morning, August 19, said that his resignation from his position was to prevent bloodshed and violence between his party supporters and the opposition.
According to the report in Aljazeera, Keita said that he has decided
“to give up my duty from now on.” “Today, certain parts of the military have decided that intervention was necessary. Do I really have a choice? Because I do not wish blood to be shed,” the Keita said on Wednesday morning.
