🇨🇫 | Another video that has been released shows Central African forces alongside Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group. Vehicles belonging to the UN Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) can also be seen. Although the armed men in the video speak Arabic and wear sand-colored fatigues similar to those of Chadian and Sudanese forces, they are likely local troops from Vakaga. They claim to now control Amdafok.

🇲🇱🇷🇺| Mali's national television broadcast images of a new military convoy carrying Russian military equipment (Spartak and various armored vehicles) a few days after the arrival of sanctioned Russian vessels in Guinea Conakry. This is the third delivery of Russian equipment by sanctioned vessels to Guinea Conakry since the beginning of 2025, and coincides with the restructuring of the "Wagner" system in Mali, which has now become "Africa Corps".

🇷🇺🇸🇳🚨| The Mersin (IMO 9428683), a Panamanian-flagged oil tanker, sank off the coast of Senegal. The ship had left Taman (Russia) bound for Senegal (Dakar). The ship does not appear to be on any sanctions lists and its owner appears to be a Turkish company. This comes at a time when Ukrainian forces have struck two ships from Russia's ghost fleet in the Black Sea. The last visible AIS signal dates from November 25.

Right all along award 🥇 Unsurprisingly, France is accused by the junta leader of carrying out this attack on Niamey airport after 24 hours of total silence. He also accuses Côte d'Ivoire and Benin, naming the presidents of the three countries. However, it was this same junta leader who had organized an emergency meeting with his intelligence and security services a few days ago regarding the risk of an imminent attack by terrorist groups on Niamey airport due to security breach.

Here is Igor Gromyko, russian ambassador to Mali Ambassade de Russie au Mali speaking to RT on the events in Mali Besides the official narrative that says Russia supports Mali, he adds up with two points : - Ukraine is referred as a support of terrorist groups with drones (makes a reference to one of the biggest russian "Wagner" loss back in 2024 in Tinzawaten but don’t acknowledge their presence, only speaks about malian forces) - France which is allegedly backing Ukraine Here again, no reference to Africa Corps losses or retreat or even one way negotiations with terrorists in Kidal and other locations these lasts days without warning malians. And of course no comment on the russian equipments left behind and losses.

🇲🇱 🇨🇳 | Malian forces have received a number of Chinese military equipment items, including aerial and ground drones. I am not sure about the identification of the ground drones, but this may be the first time we have seen them deployed (feel free to correct me). The video was shot in KATI during a troop review. (Kudos Iván)
