The opposition coalition which led mass protests in Mali ahead of last month’s coup has rejected a transition charter.
On Saturday, the country’s military leadership agreed to establish an 18-month interim government until an election could take place.
It followed three days of talks with opposition and civil society groups.
Spokesperson, Moussa Camara said the interim government would either be led by a military officer or a civilian.
But the M5-RFP group, which took part in the negotiations, said the resulting document was an attempt by military leaders to “grab and confiscate power”.
It also said the document did not take into account what it said was a majority vote for a civilian interim leader, and “did not reflect the views and decisions of the Malian people”.
Meanwhile, Ousted President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta had been flown to the United Arab Emirates for medical treatment, after suffering a minor stroke.
