A little video from the town and a little about the religious clash.

"Islamist militias who have occupied parts of Northern Mali, are now targeting ancient tombs in the area.

Mali was once considered one of the most stable places in West Africa, however an interim government is battling with the soldiers who overthrew the previous administration in March."
