Mali's protest leaders stepped up pressure on President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on Sunday, calling for more demonstrations and his resignation hours after meeting with him for talks.

The protest movement in the West African country has brought thousands to the streets, channelling deep frustration over jihadist violence and inter-ethnic attacks that have forced thousands from their homes since 2012.

Keita, who has been in power since 2013, also met representatives of other political parties with the aim of"easing the political situation", the presidency said. The movement"reaffirms its determination to obtain by legal and legitimate means the outright resignation" of the head of state, the opposition coalition statement said.
