One of the teachers at Segou Turkish School, Mehmet Mutlu stated that they did not leave town even when the battle was occurring. "We live in the town of Segou in Mali. The best thing I can say is that we are doing our duties and we are at peace." he said. Principle Nevzat Oter's wife, Fatma Oter said that she was afraid when the fights first started. "We could go to and come back from the school any time we want," she added. Mehmet Mutlu's wife, Hulya Mutlu said that the conflicts in the North are being exaggerated. "We go about our daily routines every day without any trouble. We can go to the market and get everything we need. This did not become an issue for us. We are happy." she said.
