    It seems so
    Multiple reports suggest Malian President Ibrahim Boubakar Keïta has been arrested by mutinying soldiers.
    Their actions began with gunfire inside a key military base, some 15km (nine miles) from the capital, Bamako, on Tuesday morning.
    In the centre of Bamako, young men looted a government-owned building and set it on fire.
    The mutiny has been condemned by regional group Ecowas and former colonial power France.
    The unrest coincides with calls for more protests to demand that the president resign.
