Since spring 2012, Mali has been split in two. In the South, the official government controls Bamako and has the support of the international community. In the North, Islamist militia share power.
 

The most radical of them, like Mujao, have imposed the Sharia, have sworn allegiance to Al-Qaeda and maintain a reign of terror. For several weeks now, the country has been expecting a military intervention by ECOWAS forces.
The rare forces of order present in the region are totally impoverished and poorly equipped and struggle to ensure safety. The militia have scant resources but they do have one asset: they recruit among victims of Islamists, exiled from Gao and Timbuktu.

These victims are prepared to do anything to redress a wrong and reap revenge. They are ready to re-conquer the North.
