Mrs. Patricia Malikail at the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee

Thank you for the question.

This news that Captain Sanogo was going to ask that ATT be held accountable for treason just came to us yesterday. I think the view of the international community is that ATT is the democratically elected leader of Mali. He was well respected for many years.

We haven't had direct reports of the reaction of the population, but we don't see it changing from that same assessment.
