       Mali's ruling junta suspends all UN peacekeeping rotations •
       FRANCE 24 English
       --- Quote ---
       > In tonight's edition: Mali puts a stop to rotations of UN
       peacekeepers from the organisation's MINUSMA mission. Five
       former members of the Gambia's Intelligence Agency have been
       sentenced to death for the 2016 killing of a political activist
       called Solo Sandeng. And three years after the launch of a
       groundbreaking pilot programme for the world's first malaria
       vaccine, there is frustration from Africa that more shots aren't
       yet available.

       Germany to withdraw all its troops from Mali by 2024 | DW News
       --- Quote ---
       > Germany's government says it has agreed to withdraw all its
       troops from Mali by 2024. The West African nation has been
       fighting a Jihadist insurgency for a decade now.
       >
       > Germany has around 1,000 troops currently deployed in Mali.
       Most are involved in reconnaissance. The pull-out will start in
       mid 2023. More and more Western nations have withdrawn their
       forces from Mali in recent months. Its military government has
       become a close ally of Russia - and Russian mercenaries have
       been linked to several massacres there.

       Jihadists threaten to overrun Mali as blockades continue •
       FRANCE 24 English
       --- Quote ---
       > Since September, blockades have been multiplying across Mali,
       carried out by jihadists from the JNIM, the al Qaeda-linked
       Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims. The jihadists are
       imposing a fuel blockade that has paralysed the landlocked Sahel
       country's economy. The resulting unrest and violence have sent
       refugees fleeing westwards into Mauritania. We speak with
       Oluwole Ojewale, co-ordinator for West and Central Africa at the
       Institute for Security Studies.

       Mali Crisis Deepens: Fuel supply cut, Military under siege,
       foreigners abducted
       --- Quote ---
       > The security situation in Mali is worsening, with jihadist
       groups blocking fuel supplies, attacking military posts, and
       kidnapping foreign nationals. These actions have forced schools
       and businesses to close, disrupted access to essential goods,
       and raised concerns about broader regional instability across
       the Sahel. To help us unpack the situation and its implications,
       we are joined by Héni Nsaibia, Senior West Africa Analyst at
       ACLED - (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data).

       Meanwhile, many False Leftist commentators still refer to
       al-Qaeda as if they are villains (while portraying Ukrainians as
       heroes  ::) ). We should be talking about supplying weapons to
       al-Qaeda!

       In a sane world, every country bordering Russia should be
       invading Russia by now.

       --- Quote ---
       > Major attacks by jihadist group JNIM and separatist Tuareg
       rebels have rocked Mali. The West African country's military
       ruler, Assimi Goïta, is clinging on to power as violence and
       insecurity spread. US President Donald Trump has threatened to
       get involved and conduct airstrikes.
       > Under Goïta, Mali has turned away from its former colonial
       power, France, and sought help from Russia. Goïta and Russian
       President Vladimir Putin seem to have developed a personal
       friendship. Mali has had longstanding connections with Russia
       and previously to the Soviet Union following its independence
       from France in 1960. Mali now leans on Africa Corps, formerly
       the Wagner Group — a group of Russian mercenaries linked to the
       Russian Ministry of Defense  — for support. Yet those
       mercenaries are proving no match for the jihadist groups and
       separatist rebels, who are gaining ground and want to bring down
       the military junta. Goïta’s regime is in danger — and perhaps
       his life too. So why is he still betting on Russia and why is
       Moscow so keen to stick around in Mali?
       > It seems the Kremlin and Goïta’s military junta have different
       agendas. And there’s a deeper problem: foreign military
       interventions have not solved Mali’s terrorism issues. So Mali
       must look elsewhere for solutions.
       > Meanwhile, Sahel neighbors Burkina Faso and Niger are also
       struggling with jihadist insurgencies. There, too, military
       juntas have swept to power and turned to Russia.
