 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.

FORMER VOGUE EDITOR SAYS SHE STORMED OUT OF FIRST-CLASS PLANE SEAT AFTER DISCOVERING FELLOW PASSENGERS WERE ALL WHITE MIDDLE AGED MEN. (PHOTO).


 Former Vogue editor says she stormed out of first-class plane seat after discovering fellow passengers were all white middle aged men


Former Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa‑Johnson shared a viral account of leaving her first‑class seat on a flight to Milan after feeling targeted by microaggressions. 


In a social media post, she explained that five of the six passengers in the cabin were older white men, and she believed a flight attendant treated her with substandard service because she was a Black woman. 


She said she chose to downgrade to business class to protect her peace of mind, even at the expense of physical comfort.


Her comments drew mixed reactions online. Some users expressed support, telling her she deserved better treatment, while others mocked her account, comparing it to Rosa Parks and joking about the supposed “microaggression” of being offered champagne. 


The incident quickly became a talking point across social media, with critics dismissing her complaints and supporters highlighting the persistence of racial bias in everyday experiences.


Karefa‑Johnson has been outspoken about her values before. In October 2023, she resigned from her role as editor‑at‑large at Vogue in protest over Israel’s invasion of Gaza, saying she wanted to take a stand in solidarity and move on from institutions that no longer reflected her beliefs. 


Her latest viral post continues to showcase her willingness to speak candidly about issues of race, identity, and the environments she navigates as a prominent figure in fashion.
