Mali’s coup leaders have announced freeing ousted President, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta.

According to the soldiers, Mr Keita has been released from detention.

Mr Keita was arrested during last Tuesday’s military takeover.

He announced his resignation hours later, dissolving his government and Parliament.

UN and ECOWAS condemned his arrest and called for his release.

Also arrested was Prime Minister, Boubou Cisse.

The coup came after days of protests over economic hardship and corruption.
