 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.

SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS SCHEDULED FOR SENTENCING FRIDAY . (PHOTO).


Sean 'Diddy' Combs scheduled for sentencing Friday 

Sean “Diddy” Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday following his July 2 conviction on two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution. The 55-year-old rapper and music mogul faced multiple charges but was acquitted of the most serious accusation, human trafficking.

Combs’ attorneys requested a 14-month sentence, nearly equivalent to the time he has already served, while prosecutors have sought an 11-year term. In a 380-page filing, his lawyers highlighted his nearly 13 months in prison as “life-changing” and emphasized his rehabilitation efforts, including becoming substance-free. The memo included letters from family, friends, and business associates urging leniency. Combs has been held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his September 2024 arrest.

Last week, his legal team asked Judge Arun Subramanian to overturn the convictions, claiming Combs’ intent was voyeuristic rather than profit-driven. They argued that the men involved were paid for their time, participated willingly, and had personal relationships with Combs’ partners, asserting the events were protected by the First Amendment as private recordings. Prosecutors countered that Combs used violence and drugs to coerce the women and that the acts involved were for payment. Subramanian denied the request to dismiss the convictions.

Adding to Combs’ legal troubles, on September 24, his former stylist Deonte Nash, who testified against him, filed a civil lawsuit alleging multiple violent and sexual offenses, human trafficking, and false imprisonment. Nash claims he suffered sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse during his decade-long employment with Combs.
