Former Malian president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who was ousted by the military in 2020 after a turbulent seven-year rule, has died

Keita, who frequently travelled abroad for medical attention, was detained and put under house arrest during a coup in 2020.

His death early on Sunday — announced in an alert by the state broadcaster ORTM — comes as the sprawling African nation faces a deepening political crisis. Additionally, his former justice minister and an ex-advisor confirmed the news to Reuters news agency while the cause of Keita's death was not given.

In the weeks before the coup, he had been struggling with protests fuelled by his handling of an insurgency and failure to turn around Mali's floundering economy.
