After three days of national mourning, Mali has buried its defence minister.
The funeral was attended by top military figures, including the transitional president.
It was a moment of grief but also defiance as the military government faces growing attacks from al Qaeda-linked fighters and Tuareg separatist rebels.
Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports.
