The government offered the mutineers
an immediate bonus payment of five million CFA francs for the 8,400 mutineers
and a further two million CFA francs at the end of June.
They had previously rejected a
settlement put forward by the government on Monday night.
Since Friday, soldiers have been
shooting in the air and setting up road blocks, protesting their anger at the
scrapping of a deal agreed in January to give them back pay and bonuses.
