Mali appoints new president after military coup

Mali has appointed another President after a military coup.
The junta that overthrew Mali’s president in August on Monday said that former Defence minister and retired Col. Maj. Bah N’Daw will be the new president during the transition period, OnyxNews Nigeria reports.
A 30-person panel set up by the National Committee for the Salvation of the People (CNSP), the junta that has ruled Mali since soldiers overthrew President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on Aug. 18 appointed Bah N’Daw.
CNSP chief Col. Assimi Goïta made this publc on national television, saying that the new Malian president is expected to serve as head of state for many months before civilians return to power.
Goïta said he has been appointed transitional vice president.
“The swearing-in ceremony will take place on Friday, Sept. 25,” he announced.
These announcements came after many weeks of debate among Malians over whether the transitional government will be led by civilians or the military.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has been pressuring the junta to quickly name leaders for the transition.
Goita travelled to Niamey, Niger, on September 18 where he met the current president of ECOWAS, President Mahamadou Issoufou.
