The likely cause is the driver losing control of the vehicle,” the transport ministry said in a statement.It added that the victims included Malians and citizens from other regions in West Africa.Road accidents are common in Mali because of the poor condition of many roads and vehicles, as well as overloaded and poorly regulated public transportation.Earlier this month, 15 people were killed and 46 were injured after a bus heading towards the capital Bamako collided with a truck, according to AFP news agency.Related TopicsMaliAfricaRoad safetyMore on this storyItalian family in good health as Mali kidnap ordeal endsPublished10 hours agoWhy West Africa’s united front is in tattersPublished10 FebruaryDozens reported dead in river boat attack in MaliPublished8 September 2023Top StoriesPost Office confirms boss is under investigationPublished3 hours agoNetanyahu and Biden spar over Israel-Gaza war supportPublished4 hours agoGodson and friend guilty of Run-DMC star’s murderPublished1 hour agoFeaturesGazans in survival mode with cold nights and food rationsWhy firms are racing to produce green ammoniaSecondary school places: What parents need to knowWalkers spot ‘breathtaking’ cloud inversionsThe young refusing to become Myanmar’s ‘human shields’Hear the fish louder than a jackhammer.

In October 2023, other lawyers for Navalny – Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin, and Aleksei Lipster – were arrested on charges of “extremism”. In January, Olga Mikhailova, another lawyer for the opposition leader, said she had been charged with the same crime and decided to remain in exile.Russian authorities banned the Anti-Corruption Foundation, the organisation led by Navalny, for “extremism” in 2021.The opposition leader’s body was held by prison authorities for more than a week following his death. His mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, travelled to the remote “Polar Wolf” jail where he died to retrieve his body, accompanied by Mr Dubkov. The body was handed over to his mother eight days after his death. Mrs Navalnaya said she was threatened by authorities, who wanted her son to be buried in “secret”. Navalny’s allies have said they are looking for a place to hold a public memorial for the former opposition leader. However, Navalny’s press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, said on Tuesday that most funeral locations they had contacted had refused to allow a ceremony on their premises. “Some places say that the premises are occupied, some refuse when the name Navalny is mentioned. In one place we were directly told that funeral agencies were prohibited from working with us,” Ms Yarmysh wrote.Related TopicsRussiaAlexei NavalnyMore on this storyNavalny was to be freed in prison swap – colleaguePublished1 day agoDissent is dangerous in Putin’s Russia, but activists refuse to give upPublished2 days agoTop StoriesPost Office boss under investigation, claims ex-chairPublished2 hours agoHope for Gaza ceasefire by next week, says BidenPublished1 hour agoSixth person charged with spying for Russia in UKPublished49 minutes agoFeatures’Who will call me Dad?’ Tears of Gaza father who lost 103 relativesWhy firms are racing to produce green ammoniaSecondary school places: What parents need to knowWalkers spot ‘breathtaking’ cloud inversionsThe young refusing to become Myanmar’s ‘human shields’Hear the fish louder than a jackhammer.
