Thousands of Protesters in Mali Demand President's Ouster
---------------------------------------------------------

In Mali, thousands of protesters flooded the capital Bamako Tuesday,
demanding the resignation of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta amid a
financial crisis, widespread corruption, and mounting violence from
separatist groups. The protests were the biggest since July 10, when the
police opened fire on anti-government protesters, killing at least 11
people and wounding scores of others.
