 And news from other parts of Africa, President Mohammed Bahari has called on the actors and the political crisis in Mali to come together for the peace and unity of the country. The President spoke when he received former President Goodluck Jonathan, who was a special envoy and echoes mediator to the West African country. According to the President Bahari, a situation where most parts of the country are in the hands of insurgents, calls for a consensus and restoration of peace, not a fervour escalation of the crisis. Former President Goodluck Jonathan had briefed the President on the current situation in Mali after meeting with the key political actors ahead of the meeting of Echo's leaders on the chairmanship of President Nana Akufuado of the Republic of Ghana. He went to Mali, he met with the person, the de facto leader now, and he also met with the ousted interim transitional president with his prime minister. He spoke to them all, together with the Echoas team and also with the Ghanaian minister of foreign affairs, as Ghana is now chairing Echoas. So he wanted to brief Mr. President on their discussions with, in particular, the now de facto head of the Mali transition. And also because on Sunday, the President of Ghana, as chairman of the Echoas Authority of Heads of State, is convening an emergency meeting of Echoas Heads of State, and inviting also to that meeting the now de facto head of the transition governance in Mali. So he briefed Mr. President on their discussions, essentially. They had wanted, as Echoas, to return to the status quo ante, in other words, for the detained former president of the transitional council and his prime minister to go back.
