Background

Soldiers attacked Mali’s presidential palace on Wednesday, 21 March, after a protest over the government’s handling of the Tuareg-led rebellion in the north of the country turned into an all-out coup attempt.

Official acknowledgement of fears of a coup only emerged after the presidential palace in Bamako was fired upon with heavy weapons and tracer fire, when an unnamed defence ministry official admitted: “We now know it is a coup d‘état that they are attempting.”
