Joy in Timbuktu
A warm welcome as French and Malian troops enter Timbuktu. For nine months the ancient Sahara trading town was under control of Islamist forces. Now residents offer thanks.

Now young men smoke on the streets -- a practice banned under Islamist rule. A young woman points to a prison cell she shared with as many as 14 other detainees.
