Seven Russian Mercenaries Killed In Mali Attack by theafricadailyp(op): 10:08pm On Nov 22, 2024
Seven Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group were killed in central Mali on Thursday, following an attack claimed by the al-Qaeda affiliate Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), according to SITE Intelligence Group.

The assault took place in a region heavily affected by the ongoing conflict involving separatists and Islamist militants. JNIM, a major player in the region, seized weapons during the attack.

A video reviewed by Reuters showed the bodies of at least five men in military fatigues near a damaged vehicle, although the authenticity of the footage could not be confirmed. SITE Intelligence also shared images showing lifeless bodies and captured arms.

Malian sources, including a military official and two local administrators, confirmed the deaths of the Russian fighters. One of the administrators stated that five Wagner operatives had been killed.

A regional security consultant identified the attackers as Katiba Macina, a faction of JNIM, and stated that at least six Russians were killed in the assault. The consultant also noted that the mercenaries were part of the Africa Corps, a Russian paramilitary force that has taken over from Wagner in the region over the past year.

France and her allies are sponsoring, arming, training and deploying these terrorists against the francophone African countries that kicked out the Western neocolonialisers from their homeland. They're also providing intelligence information to the terrorists.

When it's about protecting Islamic interests you will not see Al Quaeda, Palestinians are being shredded on a daily, nothing from Al Quaeda.

But once it serves the interest of the West, they are mobilized and armed.

Now you know their sponsors, the West creates their own enemies to stay relevant, including Biko Haram.

You’re really correct, that one of the reasons Niger Head of state also ask US base in their country to park because they are sponsoring Insurgences

The west want to wind down the war in Ukraine but they need to move the theater of war with Russia to some other place outside European borders. They are just preparing the ground work for it

Save this comment for the future.

what about Nigerians leaving their country to wash plates, drive Uber and other chores in other countries? That is the power of money and lately, politics.

By the year 2030 Russian women wiill no longer be seeing Russian men to marry

What African leaders fail to understand is that the Russia & China they are romancing with also have some form of imperialism in them.
