Mali's new Prime Minister Boubou Cisse signed an accord with opposition and majority parties in Bamako Thursday that paved the way for the formation of a new government. Cisse's predecessor Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga resigned on April 18 with his entire cabinet following the massacre of some 160 members of the Fulani herding community on March 23 in the village of Ogossagou near Mali's border with Burkina Faso.
