BAMAKO, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Fresh fighting broke out between Mali's army and northern Tuareg rebels on Sunday, with the rebels claiming to have taken control of two army bases in the central town of Lere. Last week, CMA, formed by semi-nomadic Tuareg people, said it had attacked four army positions around the town of Bourem and made away with vehicles, weapons and ammunition. "CMA took control of the two camps in Lere," said CMA spokesman Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane. A Tuareg uprising in 2012 was taken over by Islamist groups that continue to attack civilians and the army. But tensions have resurfaced since the military consolidated power in two coups in 2020 and 2021, teamed up with Russian military contractor Wagner Group, and kicked out French forces and U.N. peacekeepers.

For this destruction, the Global North has historically held the most responsibility - their insatiable demand for resources is driving near-constant extraction from the Global South. Equipped with wood, oil and metals, the Global North has advanced economically, leaving many in the Global South unable to keep pace. Can any amount of financial assistance really compensate for the damage inflicted upon people and nature in the Global South? While the Global North would call this deforestation, to many in the Global South it is simply a means to an end. Given the limitations of currently available Global North aid, the Global South is ready to embrace and scale additional solutions.

Kim spent two days in Vladivostok while inspecting various facilities in the fields of military, economy, science, education and culture, before bidding farewell at a send-off ceremony at the Artyom station, KCNA said. It wrapped up Kim’s unusually lengthy, week-long trip to Russia, during which he pledged to step up military and economic cooperation with President Vladimir Putin. Kim toured Far Eastern Federal University, where he and Putin held their first talks in 2019, and was briefed by its president on the school’s educational system and future development plan. He also met North Korean students studying science and technology at the university, KCNA said, learning about their lives there and taking a photo together. The rare summit between Kim and Putin has prompted the United States and South Korea to warn against any weapons trade and other military cooperation as Russia presses its invasion of Ukraine and North Korea races to advance its nuclear programmes.

Vatican City (AFP) – Calls for compassion for migrants suffering in North Africa and those attempting to reach Europe or die trying will be at the heart of Pope Francis's visit to Marseille this week. More than 2,300 migrants have died so far this year attempting the Mediterranean crossing from North Africa, according to the UN. Mediterranean 'cemetery'The Marseille event, "Mediterranean Meetings", will look at themes including economic inequality, migration and climate change. The pope is expected to speak to bishops active in North Africa in particular about the challenges there. But it's not the biggest: the biggest cemetery is in North Africa," Francis told reporters in August.
