Amadou Sanogo
Amadou Haya Sanogo (* 1972 or 1973 ) is a Malian military man and leader of the March 2012 coup in Mali .
Life
Sanogo comes from the city of Ségou in southern Mali. He received his military training at the Military Academy in Kati , and he also took part in several military training programs in the USA . From August 2004 to February 2005 and 2007 he took part in language training in Texas . In 2008 he received intelligence training in Arizona, and in 2010 he completed a five-month training course for infantry officers in Georgia . Before the coup, Sanogo was an instructor at the military school in Koulikoro with the rank of captain , where he also taught English.
In October 2011 he - like all the other teachers at the school - was dismissed because five officer students had been tortured to death as part of a "physical discipline". He was not accused of being directly involved in these processes.
