Mali has introduced new visa rules for American citizens as a way to practice fairness and reciprocity.

The country says it is responding to the United States’ decision to require visa bonds from Malian travelers. Under the new policy, Americans visiting Mali will now pay a $185 visa fee and may also have to provide a refundable bond that could be as high as $10,000.

The Malian government explained that this decision is not meant as punishment but as a balanced response, showing that both nations should follow equal treatment in travel policies. The bond will be returned once the traveler follows all visa rules.

He was found guilty of taking over 268 million yuan (USD 37M) in bribes between 2007 and 2024.
The court ruled that all his properties will be confiscated and his political rights revoked for life.

In China, a “death sentence with reprieve” means the ex*****on is suspended for 2 years and may later be commuted to life imprisonment if no further crimes are committed.

This shocking sentence is part of China’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign targeting high-ranking officials.

In a historic joint statement, the military governments of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have announced their withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The three nations accuse the ICC of being a tool of “neocolonial repression,” claiming it applies selective justice that unfairly targets African countries. They say they want to rely on their own indigenous systems of justice and reinforce their sovereignty.

But here’s the catch 👉 withdrawal from the ICC is not immediate. According to international law, it takes one year before it becomes official, and the countries remain bound by obligations for crimes committed before the withdrawal takes effect.

While leaders present this move as reclaiming independence, human rights groups warn that it may limit accountability for future crimes and reduce avenues for victims to seek justice.

This decision adds to the shifting political landscape in West Africa, where these nations are already redefining their alliances and distancing themselves from Western institutions.
