It was the latest government to fall as a consequence of the Arab Spring, though in this case it did not come through popular uprisings or protests for democracy. To the contrary, Mali was preparing to hold elections only a month from now, and the president, adhering to the Constitution, was not running again.
The mutineers say they're overthrowing the government because of its mishandling of an insurgency in the country's north.
Since the uprising began, tens of thousands of civilians have been forced to flee, and the soldiers sent to put down the insurgency say they've suffered serious casualties because they're poorly equipped.
