The Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie
(OIF) has suspended Mali from its membership.
retwtr.com reports that the decision came a day after envoys
from the West African bloc ECOWAS and the new military rulers said
they had failed to agree on a timetable to return Mali to
democratic rule.
The international community increased pressure on the military
junta that has seized power in Mali on Tuesday with the leadership
of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie agreeing on
the move at an extraordinary session held via videoconference while
adding that it would maintain any cooperation that would help the
civilian population and a transition to democracy.
Apart from this, the Organisation Internationale de la
Francophonie also called for the liberation of the ousted
President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita

, who stepped down from power last week after the military revolt,
saying he wanted to avoid bloodshed.
The OIF called for the establishment, as soon as possible, of “a
transition government led by a civilian authority”. The OIF said it
would be sending a high-delegation to Mali in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the international community has already condemned the
August 18 Military coup and ECOWAS has suspended Mali from
its ranks.
