At least twenty people were killed during a hotel siege by Islamist gunmen in Mali’s capital of Bamako on Friday, including 18 guests and two Malian police, the country’s interior minister, said. U.N. officials had previously said 27 bodies were discovered. The interior minister added that 17 guests were also injured along with three Malian police officers, the Associated Press reports. Over 100 hostages were taken during the assault, according to multiple reports. In a recorded statement carried by Al-Jazeera, an extremist group that split from al-Qaida’s North Africa branch two years ago claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it wanted fighters freed from Mali’s prisons and for attacks against northern Malians to stop.

Social media is taken a bigger role in life than ever before. The Dutch spent approximately 33,5 hours online per month. But what is there to see online? Is it valuable content or just nonsense? I analyzed the news photographs and took one component of it and searched what social media has to say about this particular part. This often leads to big contradictions in the amount of posts. In the background we see a Toyota car. I took Toyota as comparison. It turned out that there is way more content online about Toyota than about the hostages in Mali.
