 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. The Russian Defence Ministry had claimed on Tuesday that units of its African Corps prevented an attempted coup on April 25, 2026 in Mali.

 Prosecutors argue Sean 'Diddy' Combs should serve at least 11 years in prison

Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to sentence Sean Combs to at least 11 years in prison when he appears for sentencing on Friday, following his conviction on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution. In a memo submitted to the court, prosecutors argued that Combs, despite being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, has shown no remorse and left victims living in fear. They said the punishment must reflect not only the crimes of conviction but also the abusive and violent circumstances in which they were carried out, particularly against Cassie Ventura, who was seen in hotel surveillance footage, bloodied and bruised. Prosecutors described Combs’ conduct as part of “decades of unchecked violence” and lasting psychological, emotional, and physical harm inflicted on those around him.

Defense attorneys sharply disagreed, calling the recommendation “draconian” and arguing it essentially disregards the jury’s verdict. They asked for a far more lenient sentence, closer to the time already served. Prosecutors attached letters from multiple victims and witnesses to underscore their recommendation, including Ventura and a former employee named Mia. Ventura urged the judge to recognize the strength it took victims to come forward and to impose a sentence that acknowledges the lives Combs has damaged. Mia’s letter pleaded for a sentence that would honor the truth and provide hope, protection, and justice. “Please, your Honor,” she wrote, “you have the power to show us, the world, and the future that our lives, our voices, our truth, and our humanity matter.” The final decision will rest with the judge, who must weigh both sides’ arguments in determining Combs’ punishment.
