 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 ...

IRAN HAS INTRODUCED A NEW IMPOSING SEVERE PENALTIES FOR DEFYING COMPULSORY HIJAB AND MORALITY RULES. (PHOTO).

 Iran has introduced a new law imposing severe penalties for defying compulsory hijab and morality rules.

 The 74-article law, titled Protection of the Family through the Promotion of the Culture of Chastity and Hijab, includes punishments such as fines up to $22,000, prison sentences of up to 15 years, flogging, and even the death penalty. The law was passed by the Iranian parliament on December 1 and will be implemented from December 13, initially for a three-year trial period. Human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have condemned the law, calling it an attack on women’s freedoms and an attempt to suppress resistance.


The law outlines specific dress codes for men and women, with varying penalties depending on the nature and frequency of violations. For women, improper dressing includes wearing tight clothing that exposes the body below the neck, above the ankles, or forearms. For men, it prohibits tight clothing that exposes areas like the chest or knees. Violators face fines starting at $160, escalating to $22,000, along with travel bans, social media restrictions, or imprisonment. Extreme cases of “public indecency” or “nudity” can result in harsher penalties, including long-term imprisonment or, in severe instances, the death penalty under charges of “corruption on earth.”


Despite his previous criticism of compulsory hijab laws, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reluctantly approved the legislation, calling his role “ceremonial” and expressing concerns about its impact on social harmony. Pezeshkian, elected on a reformist platform, had promised to end morality policing but acknowledged that any change requires the approval of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

  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...
