The famous private military company Wagner has decided to withdraw from the African country of Mali. This was announced to the public through the Telegram channel "Unloading Wagner". This channel is known primarily for its closeness to mercenaries.
According to the report, the Wagner private military company has fully fulfilled its main mission of ensuring the security of Mali and combating terrorism. The fighters have been operating in the country for 3.5 years, working closely with local security forces.
"In order to preserve the peace of the Malian people, we have eliminated thousands of militants and their main leaders who have been terrorizing the civilian population for many years. We have helped local patriotic forces to provide the necessary training and military discipline to independently defend their homeland. And our most important task was to return all regional capitals to the control of the official government. Now this task has been accomplished. "Our mission in Mali has been successfully completed and we are returning home," the official statement released by the Wagner Group reads.
It should be recalled that the first reports of Wagner's activities in Mali appeared in September 2021. At that time, the political situation in Mali had changed dramatically, and Colonel Assimi Goita had come to power in a coup. At that time, 5,000 French troops had been withdrawn from the country, and in order to fill the gap in ensuring the country's security, the Wagner Group began to attract mercenaries.
According to information disseminated in Western media, the mercenaries were to carry out special training of the Malian military forces and ensure the security of high-ranking officials. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry, although it practically confirmed the existence of this agreement, has repeatedly stressed that Russian officials have no connection with these processes.
A special investigative report on Wagner's one-year activities in this African country was also published. This report, prepared by the All Eyes On Wagner project, provides evidence of mass violence, raids, and other violations committed by mercenaries against civilians.
In the summer of 2024, fierce fighting broke out in northern Mali between government forces and Tuareg rebels. During these clashes, Wagner fighters operating alongside government forces also fell into enemy traps and suffered serious casualties. According to various sources, from 20 to 80 Wagner fighters died in these clashes.
Today, the news of Wagner's withdrawal from Mali is being widely discussed by the international community. Analysts believe that this situation may lead to serious changes in the security system in Mali.
The local government's reaction to these events is still unclear. However, it is said that the withdrawal of Wagner from the country could be a serious test for government forces. At the same time, it is assumed that the political and security situation in Mali may become even more tense after this decision.
Thus, important questions such as what political and military goals lie behind the withdrawal of the private military company Wagner from Mali, and to what extent the security of this country will be ensured in the future, await answers. This process will undoubtedly remain in the spotlight of the international community.
