Mali holds 1st poll since coup; rebels warn voters

Posted: 28 Jul 2013 02:49 PM PDT

Election workers search unsuccessfully for the name of a voter on a registration list, at a polling station in Kidal, Mali Sunday, July 28, 2013.

This desert town and the surrounding region house just 0.5 percent of the people who registered to vote in Mali's presidential election, a number likely to have little impact on the race's outcome. Yet experts say the future of Mali is likely going to be decided by how this region that has been at the epicenter of multiple rebellions handles Sunday's poll.(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)KIDAL, Mali (AP) — The U.N. peacekeepers deployed here did their best to paint over the independence slogans emblazoned on the concrete wall surrounding one of the main polling stations in this contested city, the epicenter of last year's rebellion against Malian rule. The white paint they used wasn't thick enough though, and the slogans were still legible to the voters who lined up outside.
