 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. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government.

 NIGERIA SANCTIONS COMMITTEE PUBLISHES NAMES OF 48 TERRORISM FINANCING SUSPECTS


The Federal Government has published a list of 48 individuals and organisations allegedly linked to terrorism financing, in a move aimed at tightening Nigeria’s crackdown on terror networks. The disclosure, made by the Nigeria Sanctions Committee, signals a renewed push to disrupt financial flows sustaining insecurity across the country.


Nigeria has faced persistent security challenges, including insurgency and banditry, with authorities increasingly focusing on cutting off funding sources. Financial tracking has become a key strategy in counterterrorism efforts.


The list was released on Saturday by the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC), the body responsible for implementing targeted financial sanctions.


Those named are alleged to have direct or indirect links to terrorism financing. The government did not immediately provide detailed breakdowns of specific roles or transactions tied to each individual or group.


The publication is expected to trigger financial restrictions, including asset freezes and monitoring of transactions linked to the listed entities.


Security analysts say the move could strengthen enforcement if backed by thorough investigations and inter-agency cooperation.


However, concerns are emerging about due process and transparency, with some observers calling for clarity on how individuals were identified and whether legal avenues for redress are in place.


As Nigeria intensifies efforts to curb insecurity, attention now turns to how effectively the sanctions will be enforced. Will the latest move significantly disrupt terror financing networks, or raise new legal and ethical questions?
