For this final blog post, I found
an independently written twitter feed, based out of Mali, that
fallows the Northern Mali Conflict and other issues that are currently
plaguing the African Francophone The twitter account is called
"Mali Actualites," French for "Mali News," and is written
in French. The last few tweets on the page, dated about noon on the 8th
of April, is following what the Prime Minister is doing and a government
disruption in the countries illegal cocaine trafficking. In
news related to the Northern Mali Conflict and the Tuareg Rebellion,
the most recent is a quote about how the nation cannot have 2 armies, in
reference to the Tuareg rebels, who have declared northern Mali as
the independent nation of "Azawad," are fighting back
against Muslim extremists and other extremist insurgents. This
tweet was dated to just an hour before the most recent tweets. Another
tweet, from about 6:00am, mountain time, this same day is relaying a speech
that he countries national police has made about an end to terror in the north.
