 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.

 Alexander brothers reportedly seek Trump pardons in sex trafficking case

Three brothers recently convicted in New York of a decades-long sex-trafficking conspiracy have explored avenues to seek pardons from former President Trump, according to people familiar with their efforts. The discussions, which began last year and continued after their conviction earlier this month, included outreach to a lobbyist and a prominent Jewish group known for influencing clemency efforts. There is no indication that the White House is considering their requests.

The brothers—Tal Alexander, 39, and twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 38—were arrested in 2024. Oren and Tal had previously been among the top luxury real estate brokers in the U.S., and their convictions sent shockwaves through the industry. They are scheduled for sentencing in August and face the possibility of life in prison. While their legal team has denied pursuing pardons and is focused on appeals, associates acknowledge that exploring clemency has been discussed. Despite the brothers’ connections to influential circles, experts say the chances of a pardon for individuals convicted of sexual crimes, including those involving minors, remain extremely slim.
