In Mali, a military plane owned by the Russian private military company Wagner skidded off the runway at Gao Airport on Saturday, resulting in 140 fatalities. The Ilyushin IL-76 military transport plane caught fire during landing. Video footage showed the aircraft unable to stop on the runway, ultimately going off an embankment after crossing the ring road. Among the victims was a Russian pilot. An investigation is underway, with initial suspicions pointing to a possible malfunction in the aircraft’s fuel tank.

Gao Airport serves Malian soldiers, Wagner mercenaries, and UN stabilization mission military personnel. The plane had been in the Air Force’s possession for about a week before the accident.

French Far-right Politician Le Pen Found Guilty in Corruption Case

On Mar 31, 2025

Marine Le Pen, a leading figure in the National Rally (RN) party in France, was found guilty of embezzling European Union (EU) funds that were supposed to be paid to party employees and was sentenced to four years in prison with two years suspended and a fine of 100,000 euros.

The court also imposed a 5-year political ban on Le Pen, which means she will not be able to run in the 2027 presidential elections.

Le Pen, who was President Emmanuel Macron’s main rival in the previous elections, had previously accused prosecutors of seeking her “political death.”
