NEWS & REPORT

African Union ends Mali suspension over military coup


The African Union has lifted the suspension it imposed on Mali after a military coup in the country in March. The body has also endorsed a plan calling for fresh elections and the return of law and order, according to an AU spokesman.

AU officials have also been discussing the logistics of an intervention force to help Malian authorities recover areas seized by Islamists in the north.

The territory was overrun by militants in the chaos following the March coup.

The AU's Peace and Security Council had decided "to lift the suspension of Mali from the activities of the AU. Mali is therefore invited to participate in full," Ramtane Lamamra, AU Peace and Security Commissioner, told the Reuters news agency.

The AU is also finalising planning for a deployment of an African-led international force in Mali, according to Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, chairwoman of the AU Commission.

However, the AU would leave the "door open" for those rebel groups that wished to negotiate, she added.

Chaotic aftermath

The March coup was carried out by disaffected soldiers who overthrew President Amadou Toumani Toure, claiming his government had not dealt effectively with a Tuareg rebellion in the north.

In the aftermath of the coup, Islamists took over several towns in the north, initially along with Tuareg rebels, but the alliance subsequently broke down.

Earlier this month, the UN Security Council passed a resolution paving the way for military intervention in Mali and asking African organisations to formulate a plan for such an intervention within 45 days.

Both Mali's government and the West African regional body Ecowas have both expressed readiness for an international force to intervene, with Ecowas proposing a force of 3,000.

Meanwhile, the US is working with regional and international partners to counter what it fears is al-Qaeda's presence in Mali, Defence Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters on Wednesday.

"I've made clear… we have to ensure that al-Qaeda has no place to hide and that we have to continue to go after them wherever they try to develop a command-and-control capability from which they could conduct attacks," he said.

The Islamist groups who seized control in northern Mali are suspected of allowing al-Qaeda infiltration and of committing human rights abuses in their rigid application of Islamic law.

Love the article on Gaddafi
We must rise above tribalism & divide & rule of the colonialist who stole & looted our treasure & planted their puppets to lord it over us..they alone can decide on whosoever is performing & the one that is corrupt..but the most corrupt nations are the western countries that plunder the resources of other nations & make them poorer & aid the rulers to steal & keep such ill gotten wealth in their country..yemen,syria etc have killed more than gadhafi but its not A̷̷̴ good investment for the west(this is laughable)because oil is not in these countries..when obasanjo annihilated the odi people in rivers state, they looked away because its in their favour & interest..one day!

Hello from
Johannesburg
I was amazed to find a website for Africans in Hungary.
Looks like you have quite a community there. Here in SA we have some three million Zimbabweans living in exile and not much sign of going home ... but in Hungary??? Hope to meet you on one of my trips to Europe; was in Steirmark Austria near the Hungarian border earlier this month. Every good wish for 2011. Geoff in Jo'burg

I'm impressed by
ANH work but...
Interesting interview...
I think from what have been said, the Nigerian embassy here seem to be more concern about its nationals than we are for ourselves. Our complete disregard for the laws of Hungary isn't going to help Nigeria's image or going to promote what the Embassy is trying to showcase. So if the journalists could zoom-in more focus on Nigerians living, working and studying here in Hungary than scrutinizing the embassy and its every move, i think it would be of tremendous help to the embassy serving its nationals better and create more awareness about where we live . Taking the issues of illicit drugs and forged documents as typical examples.. there are so many cases of Nigerians been involved. But i am yet to read of it in e.news. So i think if only you and your journalists could write more about it and follow up on the stories i think it will make our nationals more aware of what to expect. I wouldn't say i am not impressed with your work but you need to be more of a two way street rather than a one way street . Keep up the good work... Sylvia
