Shifting sands in Mali

"Apart from bringing an abrupt end to two decades of elected government, the recent coup in Mali could exacerbate problems extending far beyond the region. "

The Hindu : Opinion / Editorial : Shifting sands in Mali: Given the decidedly mixed results that ECOWAS military interventions elsewhere in the region have produced, it is important that West African states do not precipitate an armed showdown with the putschists. The goal has to be early presidential elections, a return to constitutional order and a peaceful resolution of the Tuareg issue.

Mali is one of the world's poorest countries and can ill afford conflict. More than anything, its people deserve their democracy back.
