Coordinated attacks in Mali expose weaknesses of military junta

Mali's military junta is fighting off coordinated attacks across the country that began this weekend. Led by Tuareg separatists and al-Qaeda-linked fighters, the country's defense minister was among those killed in one of the attacks. The joint militant forces have also claimed control of the northeastern city of Kidal. The Russian government-linked Africa Corps confirmed that it pulled out of the city. To help make sense of this complicated picture, The World's Host Marco Werman spoke to Ulf Laessing, a security analyst with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
