There's trouble in Mali again, as two armed groups are fighting for control of the region around Timbuktu. People from the surrounding villages have fled into Timbuktu, but the town is almost cut off from the outside world, and food is running short.
It's the last Saturday market of the season today, and the people from Hay2Timbuktu and Jump4Timbuktu have a small table where they're collecting money to send whatever aid they can. They have also set up a page for online giving at https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/together-for-timbuktu
Money raised will be sent to the Mayor of Timbuktu, so he can distribute it to the people in most need.
