VOICED : Mali town counts dead

In central Mali, Islamist rebels seized control on January 10th, but were ousted by Malian and French forces a week later. The rebels retreated due to impending airstrikes, which helped halt the advance of al Qaeda-linked Islamists towards Bamako. However, the airstrikes resulted in casualties, including a French pilot, Malian troops, Islamist fighters, and civilians. Local resident Idrissa Maigre lost his family to the strikes. Despite the lack of official casualty numbers, local authorities reported four deaths.
