BAMAKO, Mali, Dhu-AlHijjah 8, 1436, Sep 22, 2015, SPA -- Mali's government says it is postponing regional elections that have been opposed by a separatist group in the north. According to AP, Mali ministers said late Monday that municipal and regional elections scheduled for Oct. 25 have been delayed because of insecurity in the north and a lack of administration in areas. The decision may calm tensions surrounding the vote. The main Tuareg separatist coalition earlier this month said it would oppose efforts to hold the elections. --SPA 16:26 LOCAL TIME 13:26 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
