BREAKING: Malian singer Traore, set to be released from Belgian prison

Renowned Malian singer Rokia Traore is set to be released from custody in Belgium following an agreement reached with her ex-partner over a long-standing child custody dispute, her lawyers confirmed on Wednesday.

Traore had been held in Belgium since November, after her extradition from Italy, to serve an outstanding two-year prison sentence related to the custody case.

The resolution of the dispute marks a significant development in the singer’s legal battle, paving the way for her release.
