Ibrahim Traore cited Lt Col Damiba's inability to deal with an Islamist insurgency as the reason.」

「He also announced that borders were closed indefinitely and all political activities were suspended.」

　わあすごく教科書的なクーデター。

　現地時間20時過ぎに20名以上の兵士が国営TVに出てきて宣言。

「More than 20 armed soldiers - most with their faces covered - appeared on state TV shortly before 20:00 local time.

"Faced with the deteriorating situation, we tried several times to get Damiba to refocus the transition on the security question," said the statement signed by Traore.」
