FRANCE 24 English
[quote]In tonight's edition: Mali puts a stop to rotations of UN

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

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 More and more Western nations have withdrawn their forces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. [/quote]

[quote]Eyewitness footage shows the moment a Russian made
Ilyushin Il-76 transport aircraft overran the runway and
exploded following a landing at Gao International Airport (GAQ)
in Mali on Saturday, September 23, 2023.
The number of occupants aboard the flight has not been
disclosed, though it has been reported that a Russian pilot was
amongst the fatalities, according to the Aviation Source News.
There are unconfirmed reports suggesting that Wagner PMC
mercenaries were on board.
The heavy aircraft then traveled approximately 380 m past the
end of the runway, before crossing a perimeter road and then
proceeding down an embankment.[/quote]

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.

Africa at the Institute for Security Studies.

and its implications, we are joined by Héni Nsaibia, Senior West
Africa Analyst at ACLED - (Armed Conflict Location & Event
Data).[/quote]
