In Mali: Counting under way after violence-marred poll
Despite the violence, candidates and authorities praised Sunday's first round of voting, relieved that the violence caused no casualties.
Counting was under way Monday in Mali following a key presidential election that saw balloting halted at hundreds of polling stations because of violence in restive regions of the poor Sahel country.
Despite the violence, candidates and authorities praised Sunday's first round of voting, relieved that the violence -- which included the torching of polling stations and assaults on electoral officials -- caused no casualties.
Security was a central issue during the campaign, in which 73-year-old President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita is seeking re-election with the international community hoping the poll will strengthen a 2015 peace accord.
Leading the pack of his 23 challengers is Soumaila Cisse, 68, a former finance and economy minister, who lost by a wide margin in the 2013 election that brought Keita to power.
Cisse's campaign director said the team was "legitimately satisfied" after the vote, while slamming authorities for failing to provide adequate security -- even though 30,000 security personnel were deployed throughout the country.
"Very luckily, there were no casualties," the campaign said in a statement following the polls, which were observed by teams from the European Union, the African Union, the regional ECOWAS grouping and the Francophonie organisation.
Cisse's team had warned of possible election fraud, claiming that there were two electoral lists and hundreds of fake polling stations.
He and other challengers, who include several former ministers and just one woman -- an entrepreneur -- have accused Keita of incompetence on security matters.
Most of the violence on Sunday occurred in the north and centre of the sprawling semi-desert country, regions already hit by ethnic unrest and jihadism.
Notably the central Mopti region has seen frequent clashes between Fulani herders and farmers that have killed dozens since the start of the year.
Not a single ballot was cast at 716 polling stations in the two regions following threats and attacks by armed groups, government figures showed.
In Mali's north, where the state is barely present, armed groups who signed the peace accord helped to ensure security.
Violence also marred the lead-up to the vote, despite the presence of 15,000 UN peacekeepers, 4,500 French troops and a much heralded five-nation anti-terror G5 Sahel force.
The jihadist violence has spread from northern Mali to the centre and south of the country and spilled over into neighbouring Burkina Faso and Niger, often inflaming communal conflicts.
Mali, considered a linchpin state in the troubled Sahel region, is one of the world's poorest countries, with most people living on less than $2 a day.
The 2015 agreement, which Mali sees as the cornerstone for peace, was struck between the government, government-allied groups and Tuareg former rebels to fight jihadist fighters in the north.
'God does not like elections'
The organisation of the vote was "a huge security challenge," Prime Minister Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga said late Sunday, praising the proceedings "despite minor security incidents."
Election officials were attacked, polling stations destroyed and state administrators banned from villages by armed groups, according to local authorities and observers.
And there was no voting in the village of Lafia, in the northern Timbuktu region, after the ballot boxes were set on fire, local authorities said.
One source said the boxes were burned after men he said were jihadists fired shots into the sky. "One of them said 'God does not like elections'."
Low turnout
Elsewhere in the country, however, voting occurred smoothly despite low voter turnout, according to electoral observers and AFP journalists.
Official participation figures were not immediately available.
"If we take into account the rates of the past 10 years, turnout was not at all abysmal," a local government official said, without elaborating.
Turnout has never exceeded 50 percent in the first round of a presidential election since the advent of democracy to the former French colony in 1992.
First results are expected by late Tuesday, and the official outcome is set to follow on Friday at the latest.
If no candidate gains more than 50 percent of the first-round vote, a second round will take place on August 12.

Lifestyle: Wizkid is already making extra income as a celebrity model in the fashion industry
From Nike campaign to wrapping up Dolce & Gabbana's summer collection show in Milan, Wizkid is no doubt making cool bucks for himself.
 Wizkid is certainly not looking at local brands to further enrich himself by picking up bespoke modeling jobs in the fashion industry.
To prove that Wizkid is working towards making cool millions from the fashion industry, Dolce & Gabbana and Nike can testify to the singer's worth.
Nigerian Afro-pop singer, Wizkid is already making out extra income from the fashion industry as a celebrity model.
Interestingly, the singer isn’t looking at local brands to further enrich himself by picking up bespoke modeling jobs in the fashion industry.
Following the path of his erstwhile boss, Banky W, who now ekes out his income by taking up jobs in modeling and movie industry, Wizkid is giving his modeling abilities good attention.
In 2018, Wizkid registered his presence on the international scene as not only a talented entertainer from Nigeria but also one with interests in the entire package - which include merchandising, modeling and endorsements.
The Nike deal
 American sportswear company, Nike entered a five year deal with the Nigerian Football Federation to the tune of $3.75 million (N743 million) to kit the country’s football teams.
 To lead the campaign of the new kits for the Nigerian football team for World Cup, Wizkid was contracted to model for the company.
Wizkid joined Arsenal player, Alex Iwobi to model for the Super Eagles jerseys - a move that has proved brilliant with the success record in sales in the first day of release.
Wizkid was touted to have received over $10,000 for the deal.
The Dolce & Gabbana deal
In June 2018, Wizkid’s style and fame caught the attention of globally acclaimed brand, Dolce & Gabbana.
The singer and record label owner was contacted for the Dolce & Gabbana Summer 2019 Fashion show in Milan.
 Tagged one of D&G’s millennial diaspora, Wizkid joins Boris Becker’s son, Elias Becker, Nash Grier and Cameron Dallas for the exotic fashion show.
Spotting an ostentatious clothing and a mask, Wizkid ended the men’s category walking down the runway in company of globally-acclaimed model, Naomi Campbell spotting a pin-striped suit and fedora.
 Wizkid’s participation at the show in Milan would see D&G coughing out at least $20,000 for the Starboy.
The Nigerian singer, who has made music with international stars that include Drake, Ty$, Wale, Chris Brown, and Akon, is towing the path of successful hip-hop acts around the globe.

Politics: Mueller obtained a new search warrant against Manafort last month, and it could signal a huge shift in the Russia investigation
Special counsel Robert Mueller may be shifting his focus from Paul Manafort's Ukraine lobbying work to potential collusion with Russia.
The special counsel Robert Mueller obtained a search warrant against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort as recently as March 9, new court documents show.
The search warrant was related to "ongoing investigations that are not the subject of the current prosecutions involving Manafort."
The revelation indicates Mueller's focus on Manafort is now shifting from examining his Ukraine lobbying work to possible collusion with Russia while he was chairman of President Donald Trump campaign in 2016.
The special counsel Robert Mueller obtained a new search warrant against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort less than a month ago, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
Mueller's office made the revelation in an opposition it filed to Manafort's recent motion to compel the government to turn over un-redacted versions of search and seizure warrants it had obtained against him. Mueller's office said that after Manafort first raised the issue, the US government gave the defense copies of six affidavits — three of them had no redactions, and the other three had minimal redactions.
Per the court filing, the special counsel also obtained a new search warrant in the Manafort case less than one month ago, on March 9. It turned over a redacted copy of the warrant to the defense on Wednesday.
But Mueller's office also made another notable disclosure.
Four out of the seven affidavits that have been produced for the defense were redacted because they contained information regarding "ongoing investigations that are not the subject of the current prosecutions involving Manafort." The most recent warrant has more "substantial redactions" than the other three.
Manafort has been charged with dozens of counts related to financial crimes and conspiracy against the US. The charges against Manafort so far deal primarily with his lobbying work for pro-Russia interests in Ukraine and former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych. Based on Thursday's court filing, Mueller has found evidence of wrongdoing in the Manafort case that is not limited to his consulting work in Ukraine.
According to a recently released memo deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein sent Mueller last year, the special counsel is authorized to investigate at least two threads as it relates to Manafort: allegations of criminal activity arising from his work in Ukraine, and allegations that he colluded with Russian officials as Russia was trying to meddle in the 2016 US election.
The rest of the Rosenstein memo was redacted, and legal experts have suggested it's possible Mueller was authorized to investigate additional allegations against Manafort outside of the collusion inquiry and his Ukraine lobbying.
The special counsel's office disclosed a partial list of its warrants against Manafort thus far in Thursday's court filing. In addition to searching Manafort's home, bank accounts, email, and hard drive, prosecutors also secured permission to search "information associated with five telephone numbers controlled by AT&T."
News that Mueller is broadening his focus with respect to Manafort is bolstered by recent reports that prosecutors told Manafort's longtime deputy Rick Gates they didn't need his cooperation against Manafort. Instead, they are reportedly interested in learning more from him about the Trump campaign's contacts with Russians during the 2016 US election.
Manafort and Gates are two of several Trump associates who are known to have been in touch with Russia-linked individuals during the campaign. The two men have known each other for at least the past three decades and Gates was privy to most, if not all, of Manafort's dealings during the 2016 election.
Mueller's warrant against Manafort last month came after Gates had a "Queen for a Day" interview with the special counsel in early February, in which Gates answered any questions from investigators, including those asked about his own case and other possible criminal activity he may have witnessed.
Manafort has so far mounted an aggressive defense against the special counsel, arguing that the charges against him so far should be dropped because they do not deal with Russian collusion. His lawyer has also argued that Mueller's mandate itself is "tantamount to a blank check."
Manafort was unaware of the Rosenstein memo's existence before it was publicly revealed Monday night, and the second stipulation threw a wrench into his claim that Mueller overstepped his mandate by charging him with crimes unrelated to Russian collusion.
The special counsel's office also addressed Manafort's assertion that his mandate was too broad, arguing that Manafort's objections to the scope of Mueller's mandate were "unsound."
It added that the DOJ's regulations regarding the appointment of a special counsel give Mueller "limited flexibility" while authorizing Rosenstein to amend the scope of his mandate where "necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned."
Mueller's office questioned Manafort's right to argue the validity of the special counsel's mandate at all, saying Manafort had "no basis" to use that reasoning to call for the case against him to be dismissed.
Specifically, Mueller's office said the DOJ regulations governing the appointment of a special counsel are meant to provide a framework for the department's internal structure. The regulations "unequivocally state" that they are not meant to "create any [enforceable] rights" in a criminal proceeding, the special counsel continued.
