Abstract
On March 22, 2012 a group of young soldiers, led by Captain Amado Sonogo, carried out a coup d’etat in the Republic of Mali, removing from power of President Amadou Toumani Tourй. The seeming pointlessness of “toy of the coup”, which occurred a month before elections scheduled for April, immediately raised questions about its true purpose and masterminds. All the more that the putschists did not expressed desire to usurp power, but merely sought to unseat the President, who failed to fulfill his dutiesThe putschists accused the authorities with incapability to cope with the separative movement of the Tuareg and of the collapse of the army.
