Mali Insurgency Intensifies Amidst Russian Mercenary Failure
An alliance of al-Qaeda-linked jihadists and Tuareg rebels has attacked the fringes of Bamako and other towns in Mali. The government claims the situation is under control, but there are indications that a key Russian figure, possibly the point person for Russian mercenaries, has been killed. This is seen as a major blow to Russia, as the mercenaries, successors to the Wagner group, are failing to provide security.
