Macky Sall blasts Colonel Goita’s coup by saying act is a violation of Ecowas’ protocol on democracy and good governance

Senegal leader Macky Sall has blasted a coup in Mali saying it is a violation of Ecowas’s protocol on democracy and good governance.

“The coup de force against a democratically elected President is a violation of ECOWAS’s protocol on democracy and good governance. We strongly condemned him,” Mr Sall insisted on his official Facebook page on Thursday.

The Senegalese president added: “We must act with responsibility and speed to prevent Mali from falling into an institutional vacuum and a political deadlock.”
