Soldiers seized power in a coup in Bamako on March 22 and deposed
President Amadou Toumani Toure, The Guardian reported. The mutineers,
calling themselves the National Committee for the Restoration of
Democracy and State (CNRDR) said they suspended the constitution and
dissolved institutions. Leader Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo announced a
curfew on state television. CNRDR spokesman Amadou Konare said the group
will hand power back to an elected president after the country is
unified and safe. An opposition leader said Toure was not in the
presidential palace and the soldiers appear to have taken him to another
location.
