Mr Dussey says his president and the Togolese government are ready to facilitate a fruitful dialogue between Mali and the international community.

Mali's military rulers are poised to remain firmly in charge of the conflict-hit nation following a feeble response by the West African regional bloc, Ecowas, over its second coup in less than nine months.Ecowas continues to be blindsided by the Sahel nation's political crisis, underscoring its diminishing political influence in the region.Col Assimi Goita's ascendancy as Mali's interim president is the latest demonstration of contempt by the west African nation's military rulers towards the regional and international community whose influence over the political crisis is quickly waning.The lack of targeted sanctions against Col Goita and Mali's junta leaders is likely to embolden the military to continue dominating key state institutions in the expected cabinet appointment.
