Well I skimmed through the Wikipee article of the 2012 Malian coup, it didn't go as smooth as this year's, they couldn't really seize the president, they needed about two weeks to make him resign. I wanna know more about this, but only this much I could afford today.

What's up with these Malian names?
>Amadou Toumani Touré
Touman was a Hun khan, the first one who unified the steppe people in Asia.
>Soumaïla Cissé
Well, Soumi = Finland, and soumalainen = Finnish.
