 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.

Wood, who has been incarcerated at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester for more than 20 years, was set to be put to death for a 2002 felony murder conviction.

Stitt accepted the recommendation of the state’s prison and parole board to commute Wood’s sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole, marking only the second time the governor has granted clemency during his tenure. Wood had been convicted of the death of Ronnie Wipf during a failed robbery, though his attorneys argued that Wood’s brother, Zjaiton, was the one who actually killed Wipf. Zjaiton, who received life without parole for his role, died in prison in 2019 and reportedly admitted to stabbing Wipf. The U.S. Supreme Court had denied a last-minute request from Wood’s lawyers to halt the execution. In a statement, Stitt called Wood a “violent offender” and said the new sentence remains “a severe punishment” while keeping him off the streets.
