Does Mali's coup signal the end of democracy?

Issued on:

Soldiers stormed the presidential palace in Mali on Thursday overthrowing President Amadou Toumani Touré only a month before he was due to step down. The soldiers are angry with the way the government has handled an ethnic Tuareg insurgency in the north of the country. The whereabouts of the president are unknown. Kassim Kone is an anthropologist at the State University of New York. He told RFI what the coup means for democracy in Mali.
