BAMAKO - The Muslim cleric seen as the driving force behind Mali’s protest movement said the country’s political crisis could be resolved without President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita resigning, offering a

more moderate solution than other opposition leaders.

Despite concessions from Keita and recommendations for moderate reforms by regional leaders, the M5-RFP coalition organising the protests said on Tuesday it wanted Keita gone and has called for more civil disobedience. “I think we can find a solution without going as far as the resignation of the president. Aside from his resignation, there are lots of things that can be done,” he said.

Dicko’s speeches denouncing Keita’s governance have electrified protesters, and allies and detractors alike see him as the galvanising force behind the demonstrations. Yet some of the president’s allies think he is open to compromise and believe the protests would collapse without him.
