 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.

 Romero criticises Spurs board for lack of spending


Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has criticised the club's board for a lack of investment following the disappointing 4-3 loss at home to Chelsea. Spurs let a 2-0 lead slip on Sunday and Ange Postecoglou's side have now won just one of their past seven games in all competitions.


Speaking to Spanish broadcaster Telemundo Deportes following the defeat, Argentina international Romero said a lack of spending is seeing the club fall behind their rivals. "Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn't do well, strengthens again, and now they're seeing results. Those are the things to imitate," said Romero.


"You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they [the board] realise it." The result against London rivals Chelsea left Tottenham in the bottom half of the Premier League table, sitting 11th after 15 games. Similar runs of form have seen Spurs part ways with managers in recent years, but Romero believes the board should take the blame rather than Postecoglou. The Australian is the fifth manager, including caretakers, that the 26-year-old has played under since arriving in 2021.


"The last few years, it's always the same - first the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it's always the same people responsible," said Romero, in an interview translated from Spanish. "Hopefully they realise who the true responsible ones are and we move forward because it's a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year."
