The gathering marks the first time the June 5 Movement has staged a protest since 21 July, when the opposition group declared a temporary truce in a months-long push to topple Keita.

BAMAKO - Malians took to the streets in the capital Bamako on Tuesday, despite rainfall and pleas from mediators to stay home, to demand the resignation of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.

Other people carried umbrellas against the rain, and toted signs asking the prime minister to resign too. The June 5 Movement has been channeling deep frustrations in Mali over a dire economy, perceived government corruption and the country's eight-year jihadist conflict.
