The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation followed with surprise the publication of the Department of Government Effectiveness of the United States of America, on February 15, 2025, on social networks, citing Mali among the countries whose American subsidies were canceled. Indeed, this publication concerns a supposed subsidy in favor of Mali for an amount of 14 million US dollars, or approximately eight billion eight hundred million CFA francs, in support of social cohesion.

The Ministry informs the public that it has officially contacted the American authorities regarding these recent events.

It should be recalled that Mali, in its quest for sovereignty, has continued to denounce, well before the establishment of the new American administration, the danger of the misuse of "public development aid" as an instrument of destabilization and subversion of our countries by financing terrorist networks and as a means of violating the sovereignty of our States.

In this regard, in line with the vision of the President of the Transition, Head of State, translated into constitutional principles of governance of public action, Mali has placed all of its cooperation relations within the framework of respect for the sovereignty of the State, the sovereign choices of the Malian people and the defense of their interests.

It is in this capacity that the Government of Mali has, for two years, reserved the right to sign the five-year Development Objective Grant Agreement with the United States concerning the financing of projects of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and has postponed the implementation of certain activities, including those relating to social cohesion, on condition of respecting Mali's sovereignty, priorities and national execution procedures in this area.

In the same dynamic, Mali recognizes itself in the new orientation of the American authorities aimed at cleaning up and humanizing their subsidies, and welcomes, at the same time, this awareness of the reality of their "public aid and the actions undertaken against their subversive use and non-compliance with the essential needs of the beneficiaries

Furthermore, the Ministry calls on the American authorities to initiate legal proceedings against the individuals who have misappropriated the said funds to finance international terrorism, of which Mali and the other States of the AES Confederation are victims.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation reaffirms that the Authorities of the Transition of Mali, faithful to the key principles that govern public action, will continue their efforts to secure, restore peace, social cohesion and sustainable development, in a dynamic of national ownership, partnership, mutual respect and within the framework of the Confederation of Sahel States.

Diddy in deep shit

One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense lawyers quit the disgraced music producer’s criminal sex-trafficking case, new court papers show.

Anthony Ricco filed a motion Thursday to withdraw as one of the Bad Boy Records’ six defense attorneys without explanation.

Ricco’s bid to step down won’t be official until a judge signs off on it. A judge must find sufficient reason to approve such a request.

[b]“Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” [/b]Ricco wrote in the Manhattan federal court affidavit. “It is respectfully but regrettably requested that the court grant the relief requested.”

The lawyer didn’t elaborate on why he wanted to step down but noted the decision came after speaking with Combs’ lead counsel Marc Agnifilo.

The attorney suggested the cause for his affidavit’s “brevity” is because he didn’t want to divulge any information protected by attorney-client privilege.

But he told the judge “there are sufficient reasons” for asking to be let off the case.

Ricco assured the judge his resignation wouldn’t delay the trial — which is set for May 5 — since Combs “will continue to be represented by five other attorneys of record.”

Wotoporiously speaking

In my opinion lil Wayne is not really fit anymore like before, drugs too much and I doubt if he can go for hours on a stage, not many artist can go energy for energy on stage without taking supplements to keep them going, don't be fooled the music industry is more than meets the eye.

If you know what this artist go through just to be able to perform on stage for even 30 minutes or 1hour you will not wanna be them, some of them are not that fit anymore.

They picked Kendrick Lamar cuz he's got more energy and he's the one popping now, it's his time bro, let him shine.

Which hits have lil Wayne produced over the past year that will qualify him for a whole superbowl halftime show, that's he's a native of the host city does not mean it's his rights to perform. I'm sure even him knows that. Kendrick's show may have been underwhelming but lil Wayne wouldn't have been a better substitute

Trump Announced Transfering ‘Mother Of All Bomb’ To Israel
The bomb weighs 11 tons and can destroy Iranian underground nuclear complexes.

US President Donald Trump continues to pursue a tough policy in the Middle East. After declaring the potential establishment of US control over Gaza, he is now taking steps that could change the balance of power in the region. Bild writes about this.


The US presidential administration announced the delivery of one of the most powerful non-nuclear bombs to Israel — the MOAB, the so-called “Mother of All Bombs”.

Experts admit that the announcement of the transfer of the MOAB can be seen as a signal for a possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. According to Israeli intelligence, Iran may acquire nuclear weapons this year.

According to journalists, one of the reasons for Trump's tough foreign policy line was the reports of Iranian intelligence plans to eliminate the American president.


“If they do that, they'll be wiped off the face of the earth,” Trump threatened, noting that a policy already exists to deal with an attack.


The bomb weighs 11 tons and can destroy deep underground facilities, such as Iranian nuclear complexes. Previous White House leaders, from George W. Bush to Joe Biden, have resisted supplying such weapons to Israel for fear of escalation. But Trump has given the green light for the MOAB transfer for the first time.

Another attention seeking clown. One minute he says Blacks are the real Jews, the next minute he calls himself a Nazi. If this was the 1940s, the Nazis would've used him to roast BBQ. Ever since Adiddas ended their partnership with his Yeezy brand, the man has been on a psychotic downward spiral. Just the other day, the joker attended the Oscars with his girlfriend wearing a seethrough sheer dress with no underwear just to garner media attention and they gave it to him. Very soon, even the media will ignore his antics and he will be forgotten for eternity.

GENEVA — World Health Organization (WHO) leaders are sounding the alarm Thursday, warning that President Trump's temporary freeze on federal funding for the organization may delay the release of a new pandemic.

"And that would be terrible," the organization said in a statement. "We've got a cool name for it and everything. Delaying the pandemic now would cost hundreds, maybe thousands of good-paying Chinese jobs."

According to WHO officials, the next pandemic is expected to be a "real doozy" and lead to creative new policies like standing exactly 28.5 feet away from other people, wearing masks over your ears, and burning down churches. But now, at the rate American policies are changing, the pandemic may never even happen.

"No one wants to see their life's work go down the drain," said WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "It's almost like Trump doesn't even care who he hurts as long as he gets to save a buck."

President Trump's approval rating has risen by another 10 points in light of news of the pandemic's likely delay and possible cancelation, surprising members of the mainstream media.

"The COVID pandemic was the best time of my life," said CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins. "We got to scold people and get paid for it! Trump ruins everything!"

At publishing time, President Trump had responded to the WHO's warning by making all funding cuts permanent.

A Michigan lawmaker has sterilized herself to avoid becoming pregnant while Trump is president.

Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livonia) said: "Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America."

“I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate."

“If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future.”
