Bamako: Malians have staged rallies here in the capital to protest against the ruling military and the “unnecessary” involvement of the army in politics.

The protesters carrying placards called for the restoration of constitutional rule, demanding the military to withdraw from politics.
Political leaders also joined the crowd across the city, denouncing the military presence in the capital while the troubled northern part of the country is under the control of local Turaq rebels.
The Malians accused the military of being reluctant to protect the county’s territorial integrity and of arresting the politicians opposed to junta leader Captain Sanogo Amadou.
“They go to people’s houses you know, make false accusations, taking people wherever they want to take them. We don’t want that anymore,” said one of the protesters.
The protesters said the liberation of the country’s north should be taken as a priority and the junta should stop the arbitrary arrests.
