Mali Coup Leader Set for Five-Year Presidency

Tap title to read story

Mali's military leader, Gen. Assimi Goïta, has secured support to become president until 2030, following a regime-organized national conference boycotted by the opposition. This move, seen as a legitimization of his power grab, follows his 2021 coup and broken promise of elections. The decision has drawn criticism from Amnesty International, citing concerns about dissolving political parties and suppressing freedoms. Goïta's rule has involved an alliance with neighboring coup leaders, a shift towards Russia, and withdrawal from the regional group ECOWAS.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
