Mali has announced a major change to its school curriculum: students will no longer study French history. Instead, lessons will focus on the history of Mali and the African continent.

Government officials state this move is designed to strengthen national identity and reduce the influence of colonial narratives.

By prioritizing local leaders, African heritage, and regional stories, Mali aims to give young people a clearer understanding of their own roots.

This shift marks a significant step in reclaiming the country's educational narrative for future generations.

After four months in captivity, he returned barely recognizable starved, shaken and drifting in and out of awareness. His smile was thin, a mix of relief and pain. A reminder of what many abductees endure in silence.

To those still pushing for amnesty or peace deals with armed bandit groups, what exactly are you asking victims to forgive?

Model Mary Magdalene Found D+ad Years After Accident That Left Her With ‘Uni-B%ob’

Mary Magdalene, the Canadian-Mexican Instagram model known for her extreme cosmetic enhancements, has reportedly d+ed. According to reports, the influencer, whose real name was Denise Jarvis, was in Thailand when she fell from the ninth floor of a high-rise apartment building.

Her d+ath was also confirmed by her friend, Eden “the Doll” Estrada, who shared a tribute online. Mary previously gained international attention after one of her massive br£ast implants ruptured, an incident that left her with what followers described as a “uni-b%ob.” In a February 2023 interview, Mary revealed that she began undergoing plastic surgery at 18 and viewed her repeated procedures as a form of thrill-seeking.

She compared her obsession with cosmetic surgery to extreme sports, saying she chased bigger injections instead of riskier physical feats. The implant accident later became a turning point in her life. She said it led to a spiritual awakening and a desire to abandon what she described as a “bimbo” image in favor of a more natural appearance.

By March 2023, Mary had undergone a br£ast reduction surgery costing nearly $33,000, reducing her implants to a C-cup. She shared the results publicly, explaining that the change symbolized a new chapter focused on health and personal growth rather than extremes.

Update: Burkina Faso has now moved the 11 detained Nigerian Soldiers into isolated detention.

Apparently, the Nigerian government has been unable to formally prove to the Junta that the C-130 Aircraft was indeed flying to Portugal.

The Junta suspects the aircraft was a spill from the ones deployed to thwart the Benin Coup, as alleged by sources close to the story.

In December 2023, Burkina Faso arrested 4 French nationals in Ouagadougou and accused them of espionage (spies). The French government denied they were DGSE spies (Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure)

The Junta demanded €150M and some equipments in exchange for their release.

After prolonged negotiations and mediation by Morocco. The Burkinabè government finally released them exactly one year later in December of 2024 after a reported payment of €60M handled by the Moroccan government.

France however denied making any payment up till date.

But reports in the francophone countries insist the Burkinabè government were indeed compensated with €60M and some heavy artillery equipments.

As it stands, the Burkinabè are ready to strech it to their favour, unless the Nigerian Government accelerate talks.

Everyone was in tears — both the relatives of the fallen and the generals.
