The pan-African site Jeune Afrique announces that former Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta is hospitalized in a private clinic in the capital, where he was transported on Tuesday, September 1, 2020.
He would have been the victim of a malaise
The former Malian head of state was transported Tuesday, September 1 at the end of the day to the Pasteur clinic, a private establishment in Bamako now secured by the men of the National Committee for the Salvation of the People (CNSP). According to the sources of Young Africa, he would have been the victim of a malaise, the symptoms of which are reminiscent of a stroke.
This discomfort would however be “not serious”, affirms a diplomatic source. According to him, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta (IBK), aged 75, “is doing better” and is “in stable condition”. According to our information, the CNSP has agreed to an evacuation abroad, subject to the former president being able to be moved.
A medical evacuation to Abu Dhabi evoked
A medical evacuation to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, had already been discussed with the junta since IBK was forced to resign on August 18. The principle had been accepted by the CNSP, chaired by Colonel Assimi Goïta.
Released on the night of August 26 to 27 from Kati, where he had been held by the military since his arrest, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta had been placed under house arrest in Sérébénikoro, his family property, which includes several villas and which had since been secured by elements of the Malian special forces.
