 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.

 Cuba begins emergency power restoration after second nationwide blackout in a week amid US oil restrictions

   

Cuba began early Sunday efforts to restore power after its electrical grid collapsed for the second time in a week, a setback the government linked to a U.S. oil blockade that has strained the island’s fragile energy infrastructure. The nationwide blackout began Saturday evening at 6:32 p.m. local time after a major power plant in Nuevitas, Camaguey province, went offline, leaving roughly 10 million residents without electricity.

Officials said microsystems—smaller, closed circuits—were established in all provinces to provide electricity for essential services such as hospitals, water systems, and food distribution. Gas-fired plants in Varadero and Boca de Jaruco were running, and power had reached the nearby Santa Cruz oil-fired facility. Residents in Havana reported crowded streets and widespread disruption, with cell service and internet largely unavailable. Cuba’s prime minister described the restoration effort as occurring under “very complex circumstances.” This blackout follows two others earlier in March, highlighting the chronic instability of the nation’s power grid amid ongoing U.S. sanctions and restrictions on Venezuelan oil supplies.
