VOICED : Rare images of Gao northern

The video discusses the situation in Gao, Mali, where daily life appears peaceful but is under the control of Islamic groups enforcing sharia law. This has led to severe punishments and the recruitment of child soldiers. Historical sites have been destroyed. Mali's government, unable to manage the crisis, has requested international military intervention, limited to West African troops. A high-level UN meeting in New York will address Mali's request.
