 Man brutalises his pregnant wife in Anambra  In another case of domestic violence, a pregnant woman was brutally beaten by her husband in Ichi, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State. The mother of three identified as Chinelo Francis, from Ebonyi State, said trouble began when she requested money from her husband, Peter, to prepare food.  According to the young woman, she had already bought vegetable with the profit she made from her shop.

BARRICK SAYS 'COMMITTED TO REACHING A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RESOLUTION' IN MALI. (PHOTO).


 Barrick says 'committed to reaching a mutually beneficial resolution' in Mali


Barrick Gold remains "fully engaged and committed to reaching a mutually beneficial resolution" with Mali to end a dispute over its assets there, its chief operating officer for Africa and the Middle East said in a memo seen by Reuters on Saturday.


The Canadian miner and Malian government have been locked in a dispute since 2023 over the implementation of the West African country's new mining code, which gives the state a greater share in Barrick's, Loulo-Gounkoto gold mining complex.


Barrick said on January 13 that it was obliged to temporarily suspend mining operations in Mali after the government seized around three metric tons of gold stock from its complex. The government had been blocking the company's gold exports since early November.


Reuters reported on February 19 that Barrick had signed an agreement to end the dispute, which then went to the state for formal approval.


While there has not been any major hiccup since then, the deal is taking some time to be finalised, one person close to the process told Reuters.


Previous deals with other mining companies operating in Mali also took "some time" to be signed by the government, according to another person familiar with the deals.


In the company memo sent to staff on Saturday, Sebastiaan Bock said there are "no major updates at this stage".


"As a reminder, all non-critical operations remain temporarily paused until further notice," he said.


Salaries and annual bonuses have been maintained for staff despite the suspension. But one of the complex's suppliers told Reuters in early March that Barrick had two months' worth of overdue payments.
