 Malian army withdraws from key Tessalit military camp: sources Mali’s army and its Russian mercenary allies have surrendered Camp Tessalit, a strategic military post in the north, multiple sources told the AFP news agency on Friday. An official from the Tuareg-led separatist group claimed soldiers and mercenaries at the camp had "surrendered", following a fierce fight over the weekend. Simultaneous attacks in Mali by militants linked to Al Qaeda and separatist Tuareg rebels on April 25 showed how fighters ​from different groups with different goals were able to strike at the heart of the West African country's military government. Gunfire and explosions were reported in the capital Bamako and around a large military base outside the capital, as well as Gao and central areas, as gunfire continuing in the northern city of Kidal.

 Kano Anti-Graft Agency Withdraws from Investigation into Alleged Rice Palliative Diversion


The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has withdrawn from investigating the alleged diversion and rebagging of rice palliatives in the state.


At a press briefing in Kano, the Commission's Chairman, Muhyi Magaji, explained that new findings had revealed the rice in question to be the property of a private individual, not the Federal Government or the public.


Magaji stated, "The Commission has determined that the rice belongs to an individual. Since the Federal Government has not made any claim to the rice, we have no choice but to withdraw from the case."


The controversy began when reports surfaced alleging that bags of rice, marked with the President’s image and labeled "Not for sale," were being rebagged and potentially sold in the open market.


Magaji clarified that although the rebagging was done using bags bearing the President’s image and the "Not for sale" inscription, the Commission’s authority had been limited due to proof of private ownership and the lack of an official complaint from the Federal Government.


He reaffirmed the Commission’s dedication to transparency but emphasized that it could not proceed beyond its mandate in this instance. The case has sparked public concern, with many questioning the integrity of the rebagging process and the legitimacy of the palliative distribution. The Commission's withdrawal leaves several questions about the rice's intended use and the legality of the rebagging unresolved.
