Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, the ousted President of Mali,has died at the age of 76. He died at 09:00 GMT at his home in the capital Bamako, according to a member of his family who spoke to the media.
Two years ago he suffered a minor stroke but the cause of his death on Sunday was not immediately clear.
Mr Keïta was involved in politics for more than three decades, serving as a socialist prime minister from 1994 to 2000. He led Mali for seven years until 2020, when he was ousted in a coup after huge anti-government protests over his handling of jihadist unrest.
