Interesting story in the Guardian about the "liberation" of Timbuktu. Interesting in that it's a contrast to some of the other stories floating about, stories about French paratroops descending on the airport under cover of night, to cut off the rebel fighters.
Apparently the rebel fighters left last week.
And while we have seen plenty of cheering crowds welcoming the French invaders on our TVs, who are the refugees Al Jazeera reports surging into Mauritania since this "liberation" began?
