The document for the first time provides official confirmation and codification of what many in the #Moscow elite say has become a #hybrid war against the West.
Mali is among the countries currently suffering extreme heat with some areas hit by a temperature of 48,5°C, has recorded more than 100 deaths, victims of the heat wave. Malian meteorologists say the city Southwestern di Kayes recorded the hottest day in African history on April 4, 2024....
"As Mali’s relationship with French — the language of its former colonial ruler, France — has grown more fraught, an effort to use AI to create children’s books in Bambara and other local languages is gaining momentum."
Interesting article on French colonial legacy in Africa, the CFA franc (franc de la Communauté Financièr Africaine) and efforts to rid themselves of it by four West African countries.
Historically, France has always sabotaged previous such attempts, by coups or financial shenanigans. This time, the attempt may succeed. #CFAFranc#France#Mali#Senegal#BurkinaFaso#Niger#FrancePolitique#Africa#WestAfrica

The effect of the heat wave may have been compounded because of dearth of electricity to propel fans and air conditioning units.
Authorities in the national energy company EDM said more than $510 million is needed to buy fuel to power the generation plant.

In Mali scheint sich die Befürchtung zu bestätigen, dass die Instabilität nach dem Abzug der UN-Mission noch größer wird. Ist Mali auf dem Weg zu einem gescheiterten Staat? Von Kai Küstner.
Al Bilali Soudan are griots from the Tombouctou (Timbuktu) region of Mali. This is a family orchestra of fathers and sons, uncles and cousins, led by Abellow Yattara, a master of the tehardent – the Tamasheq word for the three-stringed n’goni.
Yattara has been a prominent figure for over 40 years. He played on Ali Farka Touré‘s first cassette recordings and with Orchestre de Tombouctou in the 70s.
Led by Abellaw Yattara, the group on this recording includes his uncle Aboubacrine Yattara and their sons Mohamed Ag Abellaw and Tchiale Ag Aboubacrine and Hamadoun Guindo sitting in on the Tombouctou album tracks.
This is traditional music played on traditional instruments, tehardent / ngoni / guitar and percussion / calabash. In performance, the sound of the stringed instruments is compressed to create an electric, dynamic sound. Their repertoire is based on traditional themes within which they improvise and adapt.
The Yattaras can be heard on many recordings from Mali. Family members are featured on some of the earliest recorded examples of music from Timbuktu. Today, Al Bilali Soudan can be heard frequently at celebrations and festivals in Timbuktu.
In #Mali we've seen women take on hands-on training to improve gender equity in technical fields. The Internet Society Mali chapter received funding from the Internet Society Foundation to hold practical computer networking training, empowering women in their careers.
In hopes of supporting a charitable cause, the event, organised by Q Life, a cultural platform under the International Media Office (IMO), in collaboration with Education Above All (EAA) and the #Qatar#Football Association (QFA), aims to raise funds for #education projects in six countries; #Palestine, #Sudan, #Mali, #Rwanda, #Tanzania, and #Pakistan.
The EAA aims to empower marginalised youths to enter well-structured educational programs.
Two weeks ago, military juntas controlling #Niger, #Mali, and #BurkinaFaso announced their countries' "immediate withdrawal" from #ECOWAS, #WestAfrica's regional integration bloc. This is a big deal.
...their lack of legal legitimacy could make it easy for future, constitutional governments of #Niger, #Mali, and #BurkinaFaso to declare that no withdrawal from #ECOWAS ever really happened, if they want to reverse the decision. In any case, it can't take legal effect within less than a year.
