上周推翻马里政府的叛军正面临日益增长的军事和外交压力。在马里军队放弃其军事占领时，北方的柏柏尔叛军攫取了基达尔地区。Thomas Fessy, 在其邻国塞内加尔报道。

If the soldiers behind the coup thought they'd be in a better position once in power to fight northern rebels, they must now be worried. The leader of the coup, Captain Amadou Sanogo, has called for outside help to resist the rebels' advance as they now threaten two other regional capitals, including the fabled Timbuktu. But Captain Sanogo's cry for help is unlikely to be acted on until he cedes power. The regional bloc Ecowas has threatened to impose tough sanctions that would cut off money from its neighbours if power isn't handed back to the civilians on Monday.
