“Social media platforms Twitter and Facebook were restricted on Friday, but internet access remained patchy’’

Mali opposition groups on Saturday urged their supporters to remain mobilised after one of their leaders was detained in the wake of violent protests against the president that saw the temporary occupation of state buildings.

“M5-RFP calls on the Malian people to remain mobilised and determined in the hours and days to come,’’ a spokesman for the M5-RFP opposition coalition said. Mali’s neighbours and outside powers fear the impasse could further destabilise the country and jeopardise a joint military campaign against Islamist insurgents in the West African Sahel region.However, the police have not yet commented.READ ALSO:“However, I would like to reassure our people once again of my desire to continue dialogue and reiterate my readiness to take all measures in my power with a view to calm the situation down,” he said on Friday.
