Legacy of the hill

In Bamako, two hills are facing each other, separated by the River Niger. The University of Bamako, the 'hill of knowledge " sinks into chaos day after day. The AEEM, the single union of Malian students, rules using racketeering, corruption, electoral fraud, with the complicity of some of the administration and some teachers. Its most striking arguments are machetes but its "warriors" do not disdain Kalashnikovs. These union leaders are going to the university to manage their business and learn techniques of government that they will apply tomorrow when become political leaders, they will settle on the opposite hill, the "hill of power", seat of the Presidency of the Republic.
