French and Malian troops battle rebel fighters on the streets of Gao, as violence shows little sign of abating.
French and Malian troops have fought rebel fighters on the streets of Gao, and a car bomb has exploded in Kidal as fighting shows little sign of abating weeks before France plans to start withdrawing some forces.
