Mali declared a 10-day state of emergency and three days of national mourning on Saturday

Mali declared a 10-day state of emergency and three days of national mourning on Saturday after attacks on a hotel in the capital of Bamako left at least 19 people dead. 

Mali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, speaking outside of the Radisson Blu where the rampage occurred, said the government will increase security, but the country “will not shut down because of this attack.”

“Paris and New York were not shut down and Mali won’t be,” he said. “Terrorism will not win.”
