People in Mali face major economic crisis

2012-12-26

The economic impact of the crisis in Mali is rapidly being felt throughout the country. A coup in March led to the occupation in the north of the country by al-Qaida linked militants. Foreign embassies are advising against all travel - crippling the once thriving tourism sector. Many foreign NGOs have shut down operations and Malians are facing job losses alongside an increase in food prices.
