The Tuareg leaders say that they have created an independent state of Azawad in the northern part of Mali –on the territory that is controlled by the Tuaregs. The declaration that was signed by the Secretary General of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad Bilal Ag Acherif says: “We declare an Independent State of Azawad starting from April 6th, 2012.” A correspondent of the Voice of Russia made a call to an expert on Africa - Pierre Jacques Maut - who works at the Institute for International and Strategic Relations (France), and asked him whether the newly-born state of Azawad had a chance to be recognized by the world community.

The development of new technologies is easing the work of intelligence services practically day by day. Today, it is possible to trace a person and secretly watch him or her through his or her computer, telephone or car navigator.
Today, one can enter the Internet from practically every point of the globe. But, on the other hand, it is probably the easiest way for secret services to find out in what point of the globe a person is if he or she writes something in social networks.Besides, at present, one doesn’t even need a computer anymore to enter the web. You can enter it with the help of many devices – from a cell phone to a car navigator.
