Salif Keita resigns from Mali's transitional parliament

Celebrated Malian musician Salif Keita has resigned from the National Transitional Council (CNT) - the legislative body set up to help steer the country away from military rule towards democracy. In a video shared online, an official reads out a statement on behalf of Keita in which he says he resigned from the position for "purely personal reasons". "I will always remain the undisputed friend of my country's military," the statement adds. Keita had been a member of Mali’s transitional legislative assembly since December 2020 after it was formed following the August 2020 coup that ousted former President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita (no relation). However, some local media reports say Mr Keita was fired due to misconduct. They say the dismissal was motivated by "serious acts of breach of the duties of probity, dignity and honour". The largely pro-junta CNT has 147 members and has been overseeing constitutional and other legal reforms ahead of transitional elections in which Mali's military rulers are expected to hand over power to civilians in early 2024.

PARIS – La ministre française des Affaires étrangères, Catherine Colonna, s'est tenue aux côtés du dirigeant du Niger dans la capitale, Niamey, il y a deux semaines et a claironné le rôle du pays en qualité de partenaire clé en promettant une nouvelle aide financière. Aujourd'hui, le président Mohamed Bazoum est retenu en otage par ses propres gardes de sécurité à la suite d'un coup d'État, et la stratégie africaine de la France est en lambeaux alors qu'elle lutte pour convaincre les nations de la région du Sahel que la présence d'une ancienne puissance coloniale peut apporter des résultats. Le Niger compte beaucoup pour la France. Non seulement la nation africaine a maintenu des liens commerciaux et culturels étroits, mais elle est aussi devenue la principale base des troupes françaises combattant les militants dans la région après leur retrait du Mali quelques jours avant que la Russie n'envahisse l'Ukraine. Pourtant, Paris a fait face à des protestations et des critiques locales a propos sa présence continue dans ses anciennes colonies – et ses degrés d'influence variables sur –, tout en voyant la Russie gagner en influence dans ce qui faisait traditionnellement partie de sa sphère d'influence. « Ils doivent se taire, se taire le plus possible ; chaque mot qu'ils prononcent est utilisé contre eux », a annoncé M. Moussa Mara, qui a été Premier ministre du Mali sous feu M. Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, le président d'alignement français évincé lors d'un coup d'État en 2020. « Mais c'est l'attitude française ; malheureusement, ils ne sont pas en capacité de se taire. Il a également ajouté que la France était devenue une sorte de bouc émissaire par lequel les dirigeants mettent en lumière les erreurs et le attitude français pour créer une diversion des problèmes intérieurs. Le gouvernement français a annoncé mardi qu'il se préparait à évacuer ses citoyens et d'autres Européens tout de suite, après que la fermeture de l'espace aérien du Niger leur ait rendu impossible de partir par leurs propres moyens. Le président français Emmanuel Macron comptait sur le Niger pour remodeler sa stratégie au Sahel, une zone aride qui s'étend sur plusieurs pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. La région avait aussi été au centre de l'ambition de M. Macron de jeter des ponts entre les états développés et le soi-disant Sud global. Quelques heures après le coup d'État, la junte militaire a critiqué Paris et l'a accusée d'avoir planifié une intervention pour réintégrer M. Bazoum – un retour à son attitude au cours de nombreuses années passées – et d'avoir utilisé la force létale, ce que la France nie, pour défendre son ambassade après que sa porte a été fermée. sur le feu. En réponse, le gouvernement français, qui compte 1 500 militaires stationnés au Niger, a suspendu l'aide qui s'élevait à 120 millions d'euros (176 millions de dollars singapouriens) en 2022 et a prévenu qu'il riposterait si l'un de ses citoyens était attaqué. M. Macron a soutenu la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, un bloc régional, qui l'a prévenu qu'il pourrait employer la force militaire pour destituer le chef du coup d'État à moins que le président démocratiquement élu du Niger ne soit réintégré. Signe de la sensibilité de la présence militaire française en Afrique, le ministre français de la Défense s'est déchaîné plus tôt en 2023 contre le film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever de Marvel Studios pour sa représentation des militaires français, les décrivant comme des mercenaires volant des ressources. M. Seidik Abba, président du Centre international de réflexions et d'études sur le Sahel, un groupe de réflexion, a annoncé que le partenariat du Niger avec Paris n'avait pas donné les résultats escomptés par les Nigérians, malgré la présence de milliers de militaires et de grandes installations militaires. . Il a souligné les différences en termes d'approche et d'objectifs par rapport aux États-Unis. "Les Français, contrairement aux Américains, par exemple, sont venus ici pour traquer les insurgés", a-t-il déclaré.

"Les États-Unis se concentrent sur la situation au Maghreb, le trafic de drogue dans le nord et la formation des forces spéciales nigérianes."

Leaders Meet Nourishes Bilateral Bonds & Economic Strategies

Strengthening growth is possible with regional and global economic cooperation of nations across the globe. Global development may remain tentative and uneven if economies do not participate collectively.

Primary responsibility of leaders on the top is to set a positive growth graph that tends to bend towards more stability and contributions from the developed sections/nations. It is the need of an hour to shift the focus toward the reinforcing underpinnings to witness strong growth over time.

Economic cooperation is mandatory presently for a durable world’s economic growth. Due to the interdependence of nations, it is necessary to have close international cooperation that works for the benefit of all. To work in favour of a better future, a powerful engine i.e. integration of nations can participate in sustained world growth, reducing poverty and more well-defined capital allocation.

It is very important to carve the roadmap laid to success. Leaders try to define a goal and strengthen their economies by nourishing their bilateral relationships. President of Mali & entrepreneur, Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor also contributed their visionary ideas to this.

Umar Farooq Zahoor’s Efforts In Empowering Nations

Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor is a successful Norwegian-Pakistani businessman. He was born to Pakistani parents in 1975 in Sialkot. He completed his study at the University of Oslo and started his career at a very young age i.e., a mere eighteen. Presently, as a result of his hardworking nature, he is named among the world’s best business tycoons.

Besides this, he has also managed to become a name behind several successful companies that have been established securely. In addition to this, he is also a winner of an honourable title, i.e. “A Philanthropist”. This was allocated to him for his outstanding contributions to the different sections of society.

Not only this, as he has always been a craver of success, and that is the reason due to why he has become one of the most successful personalities of the present time. He is among one the well-settled businessmen in Dubai, U.A.E. In fact, for a long time, he has been running several other companies at multiple industrial sections.

Energy Visions Launch In Dubai

Umar Farooq Zahoor through his research work mentioned that UAE’s supervision to inculcate worldwide competitiveness pointers, energy-related, especially green-energy based as stated by Suhail Bin Mohammed Al Mazouei. As Dubai was ranked amongst one of the topmost countries, and for the forthcoming 50 years. Upper bodies such as the president & His Highness, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, & His Highness, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice president, the Prime minister, and the Ruler of Dubai, have always been in support of this.

Forward-looking plans were personified that are directly or indirectly linked to energy and climate change. These strategies aimed to increase consumption efficiency by 40 percent. On the other hand, renewable energy is 50 percent. Umar Farooq Zahoor had also elucidated the focus of Dubai,

To reduce carbon footprint, by 70 percent

Reducing overall demand for water resources by 21 percent

Raising the water productivity index

Decreasing water scarcity index by three degrees.

Besides these, UAE also laid effortful approaches to broaden its energy resources. It is significant to maintain a balance between environmental preservation & sustainable development. Offering alternatives to carry out sustainable development & living for people is mandatory.

Former Head of Mali: Ibrahim Boubacar Keita

Ibrahim Boubacar Keita was the head of Mali, one of the largest countries in Africa. The population is comparably lesser in comparison to those that are majorly centred along the Niger River. Cotton production, cattle, fishing, and came herding are some of the major activities performed in the country.

Mali is a landlocked western African country. It is largely arid and flat. River Niger flows at its interior. This river functions as a main transport and trade artery for the country. Due to the flooding of some sections of the river, people receive fertile land at its banks for agriculture and also for creating pasture for livestock.

Ibrahim Boubacar Keita was the first president of the democratic era of Mali that was from 1992 to 2002. He served as prime minister for six years from 1994 to 2000. During his service, he had promised to restore the honour of Mali as a model for democracy in west Africa. He campaigned in his country for pledging “zero tolerance” towards corruption.

In 2013 when he won the election he was re-elected five years later, which was followed by large protests in Bamako.

Leaders Carved Sustainable Economic visions

Positive outcomes at the global level are cherished when initiatives are executed at the regional level. This increases self-reliance & raises the prospectus of the nations coming together. Mali & Dubai leaders are enriched with intellect and understand the amplifying profits of cooperation and togetherness. They tried approaches to economic aspects that directly yield benefits for both in terms of trade and rising economic strengths.

This will support a strong medium to serve long-term growth benefits where not only poverty reduction is objected to but elevation at technological aspects is clubbed together.

Final Concluding Notes,

The successful conclusion draws attention to the fact that trade flexibility, lifting solid boundaries, and reducing trade-distorting subsidies are critically important. Mutually beneficial approaches proposed had the potential to integrate & design a central element that gears up efficiency in efforts for accomplishing growth. With this strong sections of the economy will recover soon from shocks, and later other aspects of nations’ progressions will follow up.

Three UN peacekeepers confirmed dead in Mali explosion

Three United Nations peacekeepers were killed and five others seriously injured on Tuesday when their convoy struck a roadside bomb in central Mali, the UN mission said. “A MINUSMA Force convoy hit an Improvised Explosive Device #IED today,” it said in a tweet that gave a preliminary toll. The mission gave no immediate word about the casualties’ nationalities. An impoverished state lying in the heart of West Africa’s Sahel, Mali is struggling with an 11-year-old jihadist insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes MINUSMA, the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, was created in 2013. With more than 13,500 military personnel and police, it is one of the biggest but also deadliest UN peacekeeping missions, suffering a high toll, especially to IEDs. In January, UN chief Antonio Guterres said in a report that 165 peacekeepers had died and 687 were wounded in hostile acts since July 2013. The force recorded 548 IED attacks up to the date of the report, claiming 103 lives and 638 wounded among MINUSMA personnel. Anger within the Malian military at the government’s failure to roll back the insurgency led to a coup against the elected president, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, in August 2020. The junta wove closer ties with the Kremlin, bringing in Russian paramilitaries and equipment, as relations with France, the country’s traditional ally, spiralled downwards. France in 2022 withdrew its last troops from Mali deployed under its long-running Barkhane anti-jihadist force in the Sahel. The junta in Bamako routinely claims that it is gaining the upper hand against the jihadists since it has pivoted to Russia. On Monday, it protested after the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, last week said that the Malian state was “collapsing” and that the jihadists were gaining ground. Michel’s comments “omit the tangible progress achieved by Malian forces on the ground,” the foreign ministry said. The insurgency began alongside a revolt by ethnic Tuaregs in the north of the country in 2012. France sent troops to beat back the rebellion, but the jihadists regrouped and expanded into the centre of the country in 2015. From there, they carried out bloody incursions into neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso. AFP Read the full article
