EU blacklists Mali's prime minister

BRUSSELS - The European Union (EU) has blacklisted Mali's prime minister as it struggles to maintain influence in the strategic and mineral-rich Sahel region in West Africa.

The bloc imposed a travel ban and an asset-freeze on prime minister Choguel Maïga on Friday, saying that "despite his previous harsh criticism of the militarisation of the transition, he soon became a zealous advocate of the Malian junta".
