The World : New Mali Raids Reported

The Organization of African Unity announced that Mali and Burkina Faso agreed to a truce after three days of border clashes, but Mali said its warplanes bombed “four precise military targets” in the disputed territory. OAU President Abdou Diouf, who is also president of Senegal, said in a statement read over Radio Dakar that the cease-fire took effect at a minute after midnight Saturday. But Radio Mali reported from Bamako that Malian troops pushed Burkina Faso troops from the border town of Sikasso, which Burkina Faso attacked last week. Burkina Faso had no comment on the Malian report.
