So wie es aussieht wird das wohl nichts mit einem säkularen Nordmali(Azawad). Die Tuaregrebellen der MNLA verlieren mehr und mehr die Kontrolle über Nordmali. Heute hat die MNLA nach heftigen Gefechten mit Kämpfern von Ansar Dine die Kontrolle über Gao verloren.

Mali: Islamists 'seize Gao from Tuareg rebels'
Islamist forces in northern Mali are reported to have seized the town of Gao after clashes with Tuareg-led rebels.
Residents say the Islamists have taken over buildings occupied by the Tuaregs - including their headquarters - and raised their black flag.
At least 20 people have been killed and witnesses say many Tuaregs have fled.
Tension has been growing since the Tuaregs and Islamists jointly took control of northern Mali following a coup earlier this year.
The fighting in Gao followed a day of protest after a local official was killed on Monday.
