 Malian army withdraws from key Tessalit military camp: sources Mali’s army and its Russian mercenary allies have surrendered Camp Tessalit, a strategic military post in the north, multiple sources told the AFP news agency on Friday. An official from the Tuareg-led separatist group claimed soldiers and mercenaries at the camp had "surrendered", following a fierce fight over the weekend. Simultaneous attacks in Mali by militants linked to Al Qaeda and separatist Tuareg rebels on April 25 showed how fighters ​from different groups with different goals were able to strike at the heart of the West African country's military government. Gunfire and explosions were reported in the capital Bamako and around a large military base outside the capital, as well as Gao and central areas, as gunfire continuing in the northern city of Kidal.

 King Charles III to discuss cancer treatment and recovery to encourage screenings

 King Charles III will share his experience with cancer diagnosis and recovery during a television broadcast on Friday, aiming to encourage viewers to undergo early screenings that can improve survival outcomes.

The pre-recorded message will air at 8 p.m. on Britain’s Channel 4, allowing the king to reflect on the 22 months since he publicly revealed he was receiving treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer. Charles’s choice to disclose his health condition marked a shift from the traditional discretion of British royals, who rarely share personal medical details.

Buckingham Palace stated at the time that the king hoped sharing his diagnosis would prevent speculation and support public understanding for those affected by cancer worldwide. Since then, Charles has consistently used his story to emphasize the importance of early detection and treatment. Following the announcement of his diagnosis, Cancer Research UK reported a 33% rise in website visits as people sought information on cancer symptoms and screenings.

Officials have not revealed the specific type of cancer, but noted it was discovered following treatment for an enlarged prostate, which revealed “a separate issue of concern.” The king paused public engagements for approximately two months to focus on treatment and recovery, while continuing to carry out his constitutional duties as head of state.

Charles returned to public events in April of the previous year, visiting a cancer treatment center at University College Hospital in London, where he spoke with staff and shared experiences with patients undergoing care. “It’s always a bit of a shock, isn’t it, when they tell you,” he told one patient receiving chemotherapy, showing empathy for those facing treatment.
