Can Mali's IBK solve his country's worsening security situation? [Morning Call]

We begin with what is the latest wave of violence in some troubled parts of Mali.

Dozens of troops have either been killed or gone missing after attackers ambushed their convoy in central Mali on Sunday.

Some of the vehicles were able to extricate themselves from the ambush, but of the 64 troops who had been in the convoy, only about 20 were present at a roll call.

In recent years, Mali has been facing a serious security situation.

On the programme we try to see how the country is dealing with the crisis and we ask, is Mali heading out the crisis or sinking further into it?
