In Mali, six teachers were released on Monday (October 28th). Seven teachers were kidnapped last Friday by unidentified gunmen around the town of Korientzé, in the Mopti district of central Mali.

One of the seven teachers who have been kidnapped is still in the hands of his captors, according to Abdul-Wahad Diallo, general secretary of coordination of the union of basic education of Mopti. Joined by RFI, he recalled that three schools were attacked in one day.

What are they [armed bandits] saying? They say they do not want French schools. What is certain is that the state must play its full role in saving the school.
