Experts appointed by Mali's military junta on Friday proposed a two-year transitional government led by a president chosen by the army, according to a document seen by AFP.

The text has been submitted to hundreds of participants at a forum in Bamako aimed at mapping a way forward for the country.

Under the proposal for a transitional government, the president would be a "civil or military personality".
