BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Mali’s prime minister presented his resignation on state television in a broadcast at 4 a.m. local time, hours after soldiers who led Mali’s recent coup arrested him at his home in Bamako.

Prime Minister Cheikh Modibo Diarra said in his address: “Men and women who are worried about the future of our nation, you are hoping for peace. It’s for this reason that I, Cheikh Modibo Diarra, am resigning along with my entire government.”
