Children stand in front of a sign reading "The city of Timbuktu is founded on Islam and will be judged only by the Islamic law" after Malian and French soldiers entered the historic city of Timbuktu, occupied for 10 months by Islamists who imposed a harsh form of sharia, on January 28, 2013. Hundreds of people scrambled Monday to give French-led troops a hero's welcome as they entered the city. TOPSHOTS/AFP PHOTO/ERIC FEFERBERG
