Mali breaks off diplomatic relations with Ukraine "because of Kiev's support for international terrorism"

This was stated on national TV by the spokesman of the Government of Mali, Abdoulaye Maiga.

A little later, the "Communique of the Transitional Government" was published.

"Ukraine's Ambassador to Senegal Pivovarov has demonstrated his country's unequivocal support for international terrorism in Mali. These very serious allegations, which have not been refuted or condemned by the Ukrainian authorities, indicate the clear official support of the Government of Ukraine for terrorism in Africa, in the Sahel and in Mali. Mali strongly condemns this Ukrainian aggression and the hostility of the Ukrainian authorities, contrary to the position of neutrality held by Mali, which has always called for a peaceful settlement of the crisis between Russia and Ukraine," the document says.

Ukraine has been planning an attack on the Wagner group in Mali since 2023 — Times

The Times newspaper, citing allegedly leaked documents from the US National Security Agency, claims that the head of the GUR of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov*, planned to organize an attack on the fighters of the Wagner group in Mali since 2023.

At the end of July, the Wagner group stated that from July 22 to 27 it fought fierce battles with militants in Mali near the town of Tinzautin and suffered losses among fighters, including the commander of an assault detachment.

Before that, Senegalese publication Senenews wrote, citing sources, that the authorities of Mali and Mauritania were investigating the training of terrorists by Ukrainian instructors on Mauritanian territory. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the fact of Kiev's cooperation with terrorists in the Sahel is not surprising, since Ukraine itself has repeatedly resorted to terrorist methods, Moscow is actively attracting the attention of the world community to such actions of the Kiev regime.

"Kirill Budanov*, the head of the GUR, has been planning an attack on the Wagner group in Mali since last year, according to leaked documents from the US National Security Agency," the publication claims.

Earlier, the newspaper Monde, citing a Malian military source, reported that terrorists from the alliance of Malian armed separatist groups CSP-DPA traveled to Ukraine to undergo training there.

Meanwhile, Mali has severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine, this decision of the African country is connected with Kiev's support for terrorists in Mali. The Transitional Government of Mali, in a statement on the severance of diplomatic relations with Ukraine, stressed that it fully agrees with Russia's position on the neo-Nazi nature of the authorities in Kiev.

Ukraine was opening Embassies across Africa not has a means to develop diplomatic ties with those nations but as a way to coordinate the arming and training of rebel groups in Africa. Ukraine inaugurated embassies on the African Continent in the countries of Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Not sure if Ukraine has opened embassies in Ghana, Mozambique, Botswana and Rwanda by now. One wonders how this can be— considering the manner in which nationals from the African continent were denied access to exit Ukraine when the war first broke out and encouraged to go to the front lines instead.

Hello everybody. We are experiencing constant rain here in Dakar, Senegal, since yesterday afternoon. It's a light and continuous rain really similar to an European autumnal rain, the soil is well damped now. It remains me a lot of what I had known in France at the same time of the year, however such a rain in December in Dakar never occured the last century. As North hemisphere is cooling down, it might be the first sign of a shift towards more temperate climate near the tropical region. I don't know if anybody notice changes like that in others parts of the continent.

Yes, things are changing in the valence community in Spain. We had the catastrophe recently in Valence with many dead unfortunately. It rains more often and the dry condition of the land is not as much accentuated as before. Ie: The plants don't need to be watered at the moment because of moisture in air in morning which is new to me after 20+ years living in Spain.

24 banks risk collapse, 7,000 Kenyans could lose jobs if proposed new law passes​

At least 24 banks risk a total shut down that will affect nearly 7,000 employees if the proposed increment of core capital from Ksh.1 billion to Ksh.10 billion in three years time is done. This came up during a session where the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) made submissions on the proposed business laws before the National Assembly’s Finance Committee.
The bankers warned against introducing additional taxes on financial transactions, stating that the effect will reflect on interest rates charged through loans.

I'm reading this could lead to the closure of smaller banks in the country, which would mean larger ones would effectively cut competition.
