Crisis in Mali

People cheer on January 29, 2013 in Ansongo, Mali as Nigerian troops enter the city. Ansongo was recaptured by French-led soldiers over the weekend in an offensive against radicals.
French-led troops in Mali now control the ancient city of Timbuktu, which was occupied for 10 months by Islamists. France now plans to turn over long-term security operations to an African force. Have the militants been defeated or have they just retreated to the desert? We'll get the latest on the conflict, and discuss the U.S. role in the region.
