DW: Mali: West African leaders agree on sanctions after coup

The move comes as regional leaders met in Ghana to discuss the crisis. Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) met Sunday during an extraordinary summit of the 15-nation bloc in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, and agreed to impose economic sanctions on Mali.
