 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. Niger and Burkina Faso have already made several changes to street and monument names in the last two years. In October, Niger renamed several historic sites in its capital Niamey which previously bore references to old colonial master France. Mali has been ruled by the military since back-to-back coups ...

 4-month-old Bronx boy dies from cocaine in system, case ruled homicide


A 4-month-old Bronx boy died from having cocaine in his system, police said Thursday.

Little Ariel Gonzalez’s 34-year-old mother called 911 about 9:10 p.m. Aug. 10 to report the baby was unconscious inside the family’s home on Eagle Ave. near E. 156th St. in the South Bronx.


EMS workers rushed the boy to NYC Health and Hospitals/Lincoln, but he didn’t make it, police said. 

There were no signs of trauma on his body, leaving authorities to wonder what killed him.


On Wednesday the city Medical Examiner ruled the infant’s death a homicide after an autopsy revealed he had cocaine in his system. The official cause of death is acute cocaine intoxication, police said.

No arrests have been made as cops continue to investigate how the boy was exposed to the drug.

“We rely on parents to take care of our child, you know what I’m saying? And to be protected,” said neighbor Lou Aguilar, 68. “We know our neighbors, as far as you know, seeing them passing by, but we don’t know what happened behind closed doors. So that’s a sad situation.”

Aguilar had seen the news of the tragic death and was stunned to learn how close the parents of the boy, who have multiple children, live to him.

“That’s very heartbreaking,” said another neighbor, a woman who did not provide her name. “It does really bother me a lot … That’s a 4-month-old baby. I would have lost my mind if something like that, God forbid, would have happened to my child.”

Police said there had been no prior contact between the family and the city’s Administration for Children’s Services but Aguilar said he had recently spoken to a man who identified himself as a worker for the agency who asked if Aguilar had seen the baby’s father smoking marijuana.

Aguilar said he saw the ACS worker again this week.

“He recognized me because he seen me before and I acknowledge him,” said Aguilar. “I just thought nothing of it. I thought he was doing his regular routine, checking up on the family.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
