Mali's Prime Minister Boubou Cisse has invited key opposition figure imam Mahmoud Dicko, to bring his movement into a unity spokesman, his spokesman said Tuesday. The invitation came as the premier visited the influential religious leader at his home in Bamako in the Badalabougou district, close to the mosque where he preaches. Earlier Tuesday, Cisse appealed to political opponents to join the new unity government his administration is trying to form, in accordance with the recommendations of 15-nation regional bloc ECOWAS. kt-siu/jj/pvh
