 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).

 Woman Arrested for Allegedly Poisoning Stepdaughter in Limbe


A 38-year-old woman named Catherine is now being held at Buea Central Prison after reportedly admitting to poisoning her 13-year-old stepdaughter. 


The shocking confession came during her statement to authorities at the Limbe 1 Gendarmerie brigade. Catherine revealed that she put a harmful substance called Mocap into the girl’s food. She claimed that growing conflict with her husband, fueled by the girl's behavior, pushed her to commit the act.


The situation became critical when the stepdaughter started showing signs of poisoning. The landlord, Job Bekondo, discovered the girl in distress, foaming at the mouth and convulsing on the ground. He quickly called for help, and neighbors rushed the young girl to the hospital, where she was treated in time and survived the incident.


The case has caused outrage in Towe quarters, Livanda village, where the community is demanding Catherine be banished. They believe she is too dangerous to remain in the neighborhood after attempting to harm her stepdaughter.
