 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.

TURKISH PRESIDENT SAYS "JUST AS HITLER WAS STOPPED 70 YEARS AGO, NETANYAHU WILL BE STOP"+ TURKEY'S APPLICATION TO JOIN BRICS. (PHOTO).

Turkey’s application to join BRICS reflects Erdogan’s dissatisfaction with the West, aiming to strengthen ties with non-Western powers like Russia and China.

On September 2, Turkey was reported to be the first and only NATO member asking to join the BRICS economic group of nations. BRICS, headed by Russia, China, Iran, and South Africa, is dominated by the Russian and Chinese presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

One former Turkish diplomat told Newsweek that the move by Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been driven by “accumulated frustrations” with the West and the EU. Sinan Ulgen, head of the Istanbul-based think tank EDAM, said: “It’s a strategy to strengthen relations with non-Western powers at a time when the US hegemony is waning.”

The economic grouping originally calling itself BRIC from the initials of its founding members – Brazil, Russia, India, and China – was initially concerned with identifying investment opportunities for their fast-growing economies. They held their first meeting in 2006 and soon evolved into a formal geopolitical bloc.
