Mali lifts state of emergency ahead of presidential vote



Mali has lifted a state of emergency in place since January, when France intervened to help drive out Islamists occupying the north, officials say. The move comes after Mali's army re-entered the key town of Kidal, held by Tuareg rebels, to improve security ahead of the presidential election. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-23209176#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
