BAMAKO (AFP) - The leader of putschists who ousted Mali's president in March, Captain Amadou Sanogo, will retain the title of former head of state and all privileges coming with it, interim authorities and the West African ECOWAS bloc said Sunday.
"Captain Amadou Sanogo has the status of former head of state. He will have all the benefits coming with his rank," Burkina Faso's Foreign Minister Djibrill Bassole, one of the mediators in the post-coup crisis, said on state radio.
