MALI'S new Prime Minister Diango Cissoko says his priorities are to regain control of the north from Islamists and organise a general election in the troubled west African nation.
"The priority is the recovery of the north and the organisation of elections," he told AFP on Tuesday.
"... I want to create a government of national unity," he said following his appointment in place of Cheick Modibo Diarra, who quit on Tuesday under military pressure.
"I want to tell Malians that they must get together, because it's only a unified people that can confront their problems."
Interim president Dioncounda Traore appointed Cissoko - a veteran public servant who recently served as ombudsman - just hours after Diarra was forced out.
Diarra quit after being arrested by soldiers on orders from former coup leader Captain Amadou Sanogo, a move swiftly condemned by the UN and United States.
The UN security council joined calls from France, the United States, the European Union and regional bloc ECOWAS for the military to stop meddling in political affairs, and threatened targeted sanctions against those preventing the restoration of constitutional order.
The latest episode of the Malian crisis looked like a "quasi-coup" carried out by the former but still influential military junta and its allies, said London-based analyst Samir Gadio.
"The objective is most likely to prevent a direct ECOWAS military deployment in Mali which would undermine the power base of Captain Sanogo and his associates," he said.
A member of Diarra's family, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP the former premier was "under house arrest. There are soldiers at his house and he is not free to move around".
