Tuareg rebels Sunday entered Timbuktu, the last city in northern Mali under government control in the west African nation where a junta is in power following a coup, witnesses told AFP.
"Yes, the rebels have arrived in Timbuktu. As we speak, I see them going towards a bank in the city," said a resident in the afternoon. Several witnesses said the Tuareg insurgents had entered the city and reported gunshots.
