Opposition supporters flooded into Bamako's central square to celebrate the overthrow of Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita.

Thousands gathered in the capital's Independence Square, the birthplace of a months-long protest movement. Mutinous soldiers staged a coup in the West African country and forced President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita to step down last week.
