The army captain who led the coup in Mali last year has apologised to the people of the country.
Captain Amadou Sanogo said he wanted "to ask for forgiveness from Malians as a whole" for the coup which overthrew the government, leading to conflict with Tuareg rebels and Islamists, who gained control of the north of the country, costing hundreds of lives.
The conflict eventually forced intervention from France, who deployed ground troops to regain northern Mali and bring it back under government control.
