In this Saturday, April 14, 2012 photo, fighters from the Ansar Dine group, flying the group's black flag, instruct local residents in how to follow Shariah, as they stop in a market area of Timbuktu, Mali. West Africa's regional bloc is recommending the deployment of a regional force to Mali after Tuareg rebels declared an independent state, dubbed Azawad, following a military coup last month. The fighters are divided between a secular group and an Islamist faction that wants to impose Shariah law in Mali's moderate north.

Military loyal to junta chief Capt. Amadou Sanogo return from the parachutists military camp, after taking control in fighting against anti-junta forces, in Bamako, Mali, Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Gunfire echoed across the capital Tuesday as Malian government troops battled each other, killing at least 12 people as one side tried to oust soldiers who seized power in a coup over a month ago. Mali's coup leaders, who ostensibly handed over power to an interim civilian government on April 12 but who still wield power, said they control the state broadcaster, the airport and a military base, fending off attacks by opposing forces. Sanogo told a private radio station Monday night that the countercoup had failed and that his soldiers have captured foreign fighters.
