( SIA KAMBOU/AFP/Getty Images / February 19, 2013 ) Malians walk past a billboard left by the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), an offshoot of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), on Jan. 30, 2013, reading :"Enforcing Sharia is the road to happiness, it is the road to paradise," in the northern city of Gao, a key Islamist stronghold until it was retaken on Jan. 26 by French and Malian troops in a major boost to the French-led offensive against the Al Qaeda-linked rebels, who have been holding Mali's vast desert north since last April. |
