Mali’s new prime minister has vowed to deal with a growing concern over insurgents in the north after his predecessor was forced out of office and placed under house arrest by soldiers responsible for a military coup earlier this year. The international community is considering backing a military intervention, including Malian soldiers, to wrest the country’s north from the hands of radical Islamists. Diango Cissoko was chosen as the new prime minister in Mali’s transitional government.
