Situation at Mali 9/8/2024:

Situation at Mali [9/8/2024]: After the massacre committed by Tuareg rebels and terrorist groups in northern Mali against Malian soldiers and the Wagner PMCs, the Malian air force launched a bombing campaign on the positions of the rebel and terrorist groups, forcing them to flee towards the Algerian border. Meanwhile, on the political level, the Ukrainian involvement in the attack against the Russian mercenaries has led to the diplomatic rupture of both Mali and Niger with the Slavic state. The Russian-Ukrainian war is spreading on African territory, not only in Mali but also in Sudan. Kiev seeks to weaken Russia in this scenario by providing military support to armed groups opposed to the Moscow-backed side through the private company Wagner. Source: Suriyakmaps
