The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has lifted the sanction imposed on Mali following the removal of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita in August.
The sanction which was imposes on the Malian government after Mali president, Ibrahim Boubacar and Prime Minister Boubou Cisse were arrested by Malian soldiers.
Rebel soldiers rounded up senior government and military officers in Kati town and elsewhere, staging a coup and ousting the President.
Following the development, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) suspended Mali membership.

“Heads of state and government have decided to lift sanctions” in order to “support” the handover to civilian rule,” the statement said.
It also noted the publication of a transition roadmap and the status allotted to the military leader in the interim government.
