Under the agreement reached on Friday, signed by junta chief Captain Amadou Haya Sanogo and ECOWAS mediator Djibril Bassole, the president of the National Assembly would be given provisional powers to rule during the transitional period.

Mali’s junta and ECOWAS both confirmed the deal on state television, AFP reported.

The five-page text of the deal also granted for a general amnesty law for those involved in the country’s recent coup.

According to the stipulations of the deal, a new post of interim prime minister would be established, who would supervise the transfer of power.

The interim government would also deal with the deepening crisis in the north and organize “free, transparent and democratic elections.”

Earlier, ECOWAS rebuffed a declaration of independence by Tuareg rebels who have captured power in the north of the country. ECOWAS said in a statement that it would use force if necessary to ensure unity of the West African country.

On March 22, renegade Malian soldiers led by Sanogo toppled Mali’s President Amadou Toumani Toure in a coup, and took control of government institutions.

The coup leaders said they mounted the coup out of anger at the government’s inability to contain the two-month-old Tuareg rebellion in north of the country.

The coup drew international condemnation. The African Union, the ECOWAS, the European Union, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the International Crisis Group, and the United Nations have denounced the military takeover of the country.
