CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront Live From Mali refugee Camp
Tonight on OutFront, CNN’s Erin Burnett will anchor live from a refugee camp in Mali and will look into the Islamist militants group with ties to Al Qaeda that have taken over northern Mali forcing more than a quarter million people to flee to neighboring countries.
Erin Burnett will profile the refugees who fled for their lives and will also speak with the leaders of the rebel groups planning to fight against the Islamist extremists. She will also speak with Johnnie Carson, assistant Secretary of the Bureau of African Affairs on US – Africa foreign policy, on what how he thinks the United States can help.

Great!
This story has not begun to get the coverage it deserves.
Way to go CNN, and way to go Erin!

Erin did a great job. This place has been turned into a hell-hole by hardcore Islamists and may become a full-fledged training ground for future terrorists.

I watched the whole episode of OutFront tonight because of the press release shown in this blog post. Larry, you are right, Mali is an under-reported story, particularly on TV (print and radio are better) so I was glad to see it get attention and I wanted to learn more. As you know, I am not an Erin Burnett fan, but I must admit, tonight her coverage of Mali was good. This is the Erin I would like to see more of. Tonight really was OutFront. Good job to Erin and the whole OutFront crew.
That was not nearly as painful to say as I thought it would be
