Where is Mali?

It would be good if it was spelled out in the text, or if there was another/better map showing the location in the world. 148.177.1.217 (talk) 16:15, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A map with an inset (like attached) would be nice.

Why is this terrorism?

the wiki terrorism project is to document non-state acts of violence against civilians. this was violence against a military target and only killed soldiers. this article should not be tagged under terrorism and the text of the article should not refer to terrorism.
