Prof. Kalifa Touré (Cri de Coeur du Nord Mali, Université des Sciences Sociales et de Gestion de Bamako) and Robin Poulton, (Virginia Friends of Mali, Richmond Sister Cities Commission) describe the 2012 coup dâétat in Mali and the aftermath. There is hope for economic and social recovery through the determined work of people such as Kalifa Touré, founder of Cri de Couer. He persuaded militants occupying a hospital to go elsewhere! His work bolsters that hope by supporting education, healthcare and trauma psychology services to those living in war torn west Africa. Listen to this story and feel the heat.
