 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.

ESWATINI SET TO RECEIVE ANOTHER BATCH OF US DEPORTEES. (PHOTO).


 Eswatini set to receive another batch of US deportees


Eswatini will receive 11 more third-country nationals deported from the United States this month, the southern African country said, after accepting a first group of five deportees in July.


"The individuals will be kept in a secured area separate from the public while arrangements are made for their return to their countries of origin," said a statement from Eswatini's government released on Sunday evening, Reuters reported.


It did not specify the exact date of their arrival.


President Donald Trump aims to deport millions of immigrants living in the US ‘‘illegally’’ and his administration has sought to ramp up removals to third countries as part of that crackdown.


Wave of deportations


The first five immigrants deported to Eswatini in July were from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen.


US Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said at the time that deportees taken to Eswatini were “so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back."


Two others are expected to be repatriated soon, the statement from Eswatini said. Eswatini, a kingdom bordering South Africa, has not disclosed the terms of its deal with the Trump administration and is facing a lawsuit from local activists who claim it was illegal to accept the third-country deportees.


In late June, the US Supreme Court cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own without offering them a chance to show the harms they could face. The decision handed the government a win in its aggressive pursuit of mass deportations.


The west African nation of Ghana, in September, also accepted African nationals deported from the United States.
