One of the reasons for the coup, perhaps, is a perception among some levels of the military in Mali that ATT was not empathetic to what was happening to them.
One other reason for the coup was that the Malian army operating in the north felt that it didn't have the equipment and the resources to take on the rebels and the AQIM. When there was, in mid-January, a massacre in a place called Aguelhok of military and police, and ATT continued to put forth his position that a resolution of the difficulties and of the situation with the Tuareg had to be a political resolution, I think the military took offence and didn't feel that his government was being sympathetic to their own situation.
That is where we stand.
We hadn't heard a lot of rumblings of discontent with ATT, because there were going to be elections in the next month, when, if there was discontent, there was a way to resolve the issue. There were going to be elections, and ATT had already announced that he was stepping down, so that there would be a completely new cast of candidates for these presidential elections.
