 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments.

13 Suspected Gang Members Arrested for Murder in Bali, Douala


Security forces have arrested 13 men, aged between 18 and 45, suspected of being part of the gang that killed Blaise Eyango during a violent attack in Bali, Douala, on September 20, 2024. The group is believed to be connected to a notorious gang, often referred to as the "microbes."


On Thursday, September 26, the suspects were taken back to Bali to reconstruct the events of the attack, which left several people injured. This took place in front of a crowd of onlookers and Littoral Governor Samuel Dieudonné Ivaha Diboua.


Governor Diboua made it clear that the arrests were of criminals, not "microbes," which are invisible. He reassured the public that security measures are strong, and all that is needed from residents is to report any suspicious activities.


At the crime scene, victims identified the suspects and explained how they were threatened and attacked. Serge, also known as Drek, a 31-year-old ex-convict, was pointed out as the one who stabbed and killed Blaise Eyango. He demonstrated how he committed the crime.


Governor Diboua confirmed that all suspects were questioned and found guilty, and the weapon used in the murder is in police custody. He also vowed to continue efforts to capture other gang members still at large.


The people of Bali expressed relief and praised the security forces for their swift action as the suspects head to New Bell Central Prison.
