BAMAKO, Mali -- One three-letter acronym, ATT, encapsulates Mali's most powerful political brand. Across West Africa's largest country, it is the universal code for President Amadou Toumani Touré. Elected to a five-year term of office in 2002, Touré can boast of a genuine popularity amongst his citizens. "Because ATT is good. Because he works," Sekou Camara, a security guard, said. "If people say something, then he listens."
