Mali: ECOWAS likely to announce lifting of sanctions on Friday

Description

Nigeria's ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, mediating in the Mali crisis for the West Africa bloc ECOWAS, says the organisation would probably decide on Friday whether it would lift economic sanctions against the country. Speaking in Mali's capital Bamako on Wednesday, Jonathan called the post-coup measures imposed on the country by the 15-nation bloc "unfortunate". SOUNDBITE
