MALI: Dozens of soldiers arrested over alleged bid to topple Junta

Mali has arrested dozens of soldiers suspected of plotting to overthrow the junta, which itself took power in the West African country in a coup, sources told AFP on Sunday.

Since seizing the reins in Mali through back-to-back coups in 2020 and 2021, the West African country’s junta has ramped up repression of its critics in the face of widespread jihadist unrest.
