The @UN' mission in #Mali 🇲🇱 on Monday called for the "immediate and unconditional" release of the country's president and PM, who were detained by the military.

The detentions came after a reshuffle on Monday designed to respond to criticism of the #interim government ⤵️

@UN 🇲🇱 The detentions have raised fears of a second coup as President #Ndaw and PM #Ouane lead an interim government that was installed after a putsch in August under the threat of regional sanctions.

@UN @erinogun @ArmenGeorgian @AnnetteF24 Political turmoil in #Mali 🇲🇱 deepened Tuesday as Colonel #Goita pushed out transitional leaders who had been tasked with steering the return to civilian rule after a coup last August.
