Ousted Malian president Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta died, his former justice minister Kassoum Tapo told Reuters on Sunday.
Keïta led the West African country from 2013 until he was ousted in a coup in 2020. His family said he died in the capital Bamako on Sunday.
"President IBK died this morning at 0900 GMT in his home" in Bamako, a family member told AFP using the ex-leader's initials, IBK, with several other family members confirming his passing.
The cause of death was not yet clear.
Keïta served as Mali's prime minister from February 1994 to February 2000 and as president of the National Assembly of Mali from September 2002 to September 2007. He was forced out by a military coup after months of anti-government protests.
