 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

 Premier League Terminates Partnership with Stonewall, Ends Rainbow Laces Campaign


The Premier League has announced the termination of its long-standing partnership with Stonewall, an LGBTQ+ charity, effectively bringing an end to the popular Rainbow Laces campaign. The decision, confirmed by the Premier League on Friday, marks a significant shift in the organization’s approach to diversity and inclusion initiatives.


The Rainbow Laces campaign, which began in 2013 in collaboration with Stonewall, encouraged players, clubs, and fans to show support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in football through rainbow-themed laces, armbands, and other displays during matches. The initiative aimed to combat homophobia and promote acceptance within the sport. However, the Premier League’s decision to end the partnership has sparked widespread debate.


In a statement, the Premier League said, “After careful consideration, we have decided to conclude our formal partnership with Stonewall to explore new ways to promote inclusivity in football. We remain committed to fostering a welcoming environment for all fans, players, and staff, and will continue to work on initiatives that reflect our values.” The statement did not specify reasons for ending the partnership or elaborate on future plans.


The decision has elicited mixed reactions. Some fans and advocacy groups expressed disappointment, viewing the Rainbow Laces campaign as a vital platform for promoting equality. “This is a step backward,” one user posted on X. “Rainbow Laces showed football could be for everyone.” Others, however, supported the move, arguing that the campaign had become politicized or that the Premier League should focus solely on football-related matters.


Stonewall issued a brief response, stating, “We are proud of the work we’ve done with the Premier League to make football more inclusive. We respect their decision and will continue to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in sport and beyond.” The charity did not indicate whether it would pursue similar initiatives with other organizations.


The announcement comes amid growing scrutiny of diversity campaigns in sports, with some critics questioning their impact and others calling for broader inclusivity efforts. The Premier League has not yet outlined specific plans for new inclusivity initiatives but emphasized its ongoing commitment to ensuring football remains a welcoming space for all.
