(BBC) – State schools in northern Mali have begun reopening, two years after extremist groups, including al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, closed them down. During the Islamist occupation of Timbuktu, Sharia law was imposed in the city and only religious schools, teaching exclusively in Arabic, were allowed.
