Mali?

I have never heard of this place until today, but with over 14 million people living in this country, it is worthy of the world's attention.  As of March 22, 2012 "Rebel troops have appeared on Malian state TV to announce they have seized control of the country, hours after attacking the presidential palace."  (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17462111)  Understand that Mali is one of the poorest countries in the world. The average worker's annual salary is approximately US$1,500.  A presidential election was due to take place in the country in just under a month.  We should be praying for the people of Mali, God didn't create our man made borders and they are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
