 Former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday held a meeting with the head of Mali's junta, Cornel Assimi Goyta in Bamako. Jonathan is a co-assist envoy for Mali and he's working to save the country's fragile transition. Goyta was sworn in on Monday as the country's president two weeks after he removed transitional president Barton Dom. A co-assist education leader Claude Brokasi said the West African states are committed to ensuring that elections are held according to schedule, which prescribes election next February.
