Bamako — Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita Monday decreed a state of emergency over the entire Malian territory for a period of ten days because of "terrorist threats," an official source announced.
The state of emergency was declared following an extraordinary council of ministers on Monday, chaired by the Malian Head of State, reported the New China agency.
The previous State of Emergency had ended on 31 March.
A statement from the Malian government explained this decision by the fact that Mali and in the sub-region "still faces terrorist threats."
According to the Malian authorities, the State of Emergency that ended last March 31 has "allowed to arrest suspects and seizes vehicles."
