Mali: Military appointed to key posts in interim govt 0

Mali’s interim president Bah Ndaw appointed a 25-strong government on Monday in which members of the military occupy key posts, according to a decree broadcast live on state television.

At least four central cabinet posts — defence, security, territorial administration and national reconciliation — go to colonels in the army, said the decree read by the president’s secretary-general Sekou Traore.
