Mali· BamakoMali fuel shortage eases, Russian mercenaries conduct drone strikes
Mali's capital, Bamako, sees fuel shortage relief, while Russian-affiliated forces are reportedly carrying out drone strikes in the country.
Background
Mali has experienced a series of coups since 2020, leading to a military-led government that has strengthened ties with Russia. This shift has included the presence of Russian-affiliated military personnel in Mali, who are involved in ongoing conflicts against various armed groups, including separatists and jihadists. These developments are part of a broader trend of Russia expanding its influence in parts of Africa.
