Army Officials Arrested in Mali for Attempted Coup

Dozens officers involved in an attempted coup against the military junta in power in Mali have been arrested.

A small group of Malian anti-progressive officers and non-commissioned officers attempted a coup on the night of May 11 to 12, 2022 the Junta in power said in a press release.

These soldiers were supported by a Western state. The attempt was foiled thanks to the vigilance and professionalism of the Defense and Security Forces of Mali, the Junta said.
