The West African regional group (ECOWAS) has lifted sanctions imposed on Mali following a coup that ousted President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita in August.
This comes after military authorities formed a transitional government comprising of army officials and civilians.
Mali’s transitional leaders announced a new government on Monday, with some of the top posts going to military officials.
Col Bah Ndaw was named as interim president, and Moctar Ouane as prime minister.
