Shootings in Kati, not far from #Bamako in the early morning ours of friday. Unclear what's going on. Yesterday we saw several coordinated attacks on different military installations by armed groups in some regions of #Mali. This could be part of it but nothing knows yet.
Looks like the presidential palace from Assimi #Goita is also under attack. This all seems not good.
So far it is very unclear what is happening in #Kati, just several km outside of #Bamako. Both a potential coup and an attack are both being discussed as possibilities. Lots of rumours floating around without anything substantial besides shaky camera videos.
