Mali Muslim leaders call for PM to resign at mass rally

Bamako: Mali’s chief Muslim leaders on Sunday called for the resignation of Prime Minister Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga at a mass rally, accusing his government of failing to halt jihadist attacks and allowing “moral depravity”. Huge crowds packed out a 60,000-seat stadium in the capital Bamako, with many veiled women sitting in stands separated from the male attendees. “Muslims can’t let things go to waste. From now on, they will be vigilant and mobilise for their country,” an official said. (AFP)
