Since 20 children and six adults were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecti- cut in December, calls for armed officers in every school have res- onated across the country. Hours after the Atlanta shoot- ing, several school buses loaded with children pulled away from the school and stopped in front of a church about a half-block away. Parents tried boarding the buses. Police who initially tried to stop the parents, relented and screamed, "Let them off!" about the students.

On the next day, she wore heels. On the day after, she put on her sparkly earrings, got her hair braided and tried her mother's perfume. Finally on Thursday, the 12-year-old girl dared to dance in the streets, celebrating free- dom from the draconias rules that were imposed by the' al- Qaida-linked militants on this desert capital for much of the past year. Four days since French spe- cial forces liberated Timbuktu, there is a growing sense of freedom - particularly among women. The speed with which women have claimed back their freedom underscores one of the advantages the French hold against an elusive enemy on unforgiving terrain: The popu- lation here has long practiced a moderate Islam rather than the extremism of the militants. Although Timbuktu has long been a code word for the ends of the earth, until recently its women led a relatively mod- ern existence, where they were not required to be covered and could socialize with men. That changed abruptly last year, when radical Islamists seized control of the northern half of Mali in the chaos after a coup in the dis- tant capital. When they first arrived, Hawi, a tall, fast-talking, sassy preteen girl, was just learn- ing how to put on makeup. She learned the hard way to wear the toungou, the word for veil in the Songhai language. Her slender arm still bears the scar left'by the whip of the Islamic police, her punishment for not properly coveringup. Her once-free life became increasingly restricted, as did that of her sisters and friends. The Islamists showed no mercy, beating everyone from pregnant women to grand- mothers to 9-year-old girls who weren't fully covered. Even talking to a brother on the front stoop of a woman's own home could get her in trouble. Smoking, drinking and music were banned. So was playing soccer. The worst punishment was reserved for love outside the rules, and an unmarried couple who had two children out of wedlock was stoned to death in one northern Malian town. Fatouma Traore lives on Street No. 415 in Timbuktu, the road that runs directly in front of the building where the Islamic Tribunal operated in what was once a luxury, boutique hotel. A leaflet left in the dirt in the courtyard set out eight rules for how women should wear the veil. Rule No. 1 is that the fabric should cover the entire body. Rule No. 2 is that it can't be transparent. Rule No. 3 is that it needs to be colorless. And finally, Rule No. 8 states that a woman should not perfume herself after puttingit on. "We even bought a veil for this baby," said the 21-year-old Traore, picking up her 1-year- old niece and hoisting her on one hip. "Even if you are wearing the veil and it happens to slip off and you are trying to put it back on, they hit you." The French military launched an intervention to oust the Islamists from power in northern MalionJan.11,andrapidlyforced thleir retreat from the major cities in less than three weeks.
