The trial of the former president of Mali, Moussa Traoré opened in Bamako on 4 June 1992 (AFP 5 June 1992). According to this news release, General Moussa Traoré, and three of his senior army officers are accused of killing more than 300 people and injuring 1, 200 others during a demonstration (Ibid.). Among those accused with Moussa Traoré are Ex-defence minister General Mamadou Coulibaly, ex-interior and security minister General Sekou Ly and former Army chief of staff Colonel Ousmane Couliby (Ibid., 24).
This article further states that twenty-seven other people including two women, whose names have not been published, are also accused of complicity with Moussa Traoré. After the opening of the trial, Malian youths reportedly hurled stones at the police causing violence and the trial had to be postponed (Reuters 5 June 1992). Another Reuters article of 2 December 1992, states that Traoré accused Lieutenant-Colonel Bakary Coulibali of ordering troops to open fire on protesters (Ibid., 3). It is worthy to note that Bakary Coulibali himself is not on trial but he presented evidence. He [Bakary Coulibali] said the ex-president ordered the use of force and the then armed forces chief of staff, Colonel Ousmane Coulibali, took the decision to issue ammunition to the soldiers to the soldiers (Ibid., 3).
