Wagner PMC forces have partially withdrawn from Kidal. Negotiations... are ongoing. 🇲🇱🇷🇺🏴 Today, Africa Corps convoys left the city carrying the wounded and heavy artillery from Kidal following an agreement with the FAL/JNIM. However, negotiations are continuing for a full withdrawal that includes the towns of Aguelhok and Tessalit, which are also under siege. This has disrupted the tense calm and led to renewed fighting, particularly against FAMa troops, who are now more exposed and vulnerable following the partial withdrawal. Furthermore, these negotiations stem from a severe blow dealt yesterday to Tuareg and jihadist forces by Wagner and Malian forces.show more

Meanwhile, the ISSP took advantage of the Russian and Malian withdrawal from the border with Niger to seize control of the border town of Labbezanga and other positions, as well as Tessit, which had theoretically been handed over by Wagner/FAMa to JNIM. Furthermore, exploiting the vulnerability of government positions in Menaka, they launched an assault on the city, capturing it completely and driving the Africa Corps and Malian forces back to the base and airport on the western outskirts.

An example of this can be found in N’Tillit, a town under the nominal control of JNIM but which remains the subject of ongoing disputes with ISSP. The Russian-Malian military operations met with no resistance, demonstrating a reduction in the jihadists’ initial strength from April, which had been weakened by Russian and government attacks on their camps and militants.

According to information from our supporters as of 18:30... we have the following: In the morning, two columns from the Wagner PMC were formed. The first, under the leadership of Prigozhin, went in and took full control of Rostov-on-Don. This was done in order to turn the attention of the media and security forces away from the main operation. The second column, under the command of Dmitry Utkin, advanced towards Moscow and is now less than 100 km from the capital, in the suburbs of Moscow. In order to stop the columns, the Russian Armed Forces used aviation, but 1 plane and 4 helicopters were shot down by the PMCs. According to our information, a huge number of Wagners are already in Moscow, having got there under the guise of civilians. We continue to monitor the situation.show more

🇲🇱Mali is under coordinated attack right now. But what... exactly is happening and why? Gunmen hit Bamako and several cities simultaneously this morning, including the main military base at Kati, home of military ruler General Goita, and areas near the international airport. Heavy weapons and automatic gunfire reported. Witnesses say there's gunfire everywhere and a helicopter is patrolling the capital. Attacks also reported in Sevare, Kidal, and Gao in the north. At least 2 groups are behind this. The Azawad Liberation Front, a coalition of Tuareg and Arab separatists formed in late 2024, has been pushing for an independent homeland in northern Mali for decades. Alongside them, JNIM, al-Qaeda's West Africa affiliate, has been waging a parallel insurgency across the Sahel. Mali's military junta has been relying on Russian Africa Corps mercenaries since cutting ties with France in 2022. But Russian forces have reportedly been withdrawing from the north, and the FLA has been filling the vacuum fast. Earlier today, they raised their flag over a military base in Kidal and reportedly downed a Malian Air Force helicopter. This looks like an attempt to turn a regional insurgency into something that reaches the capital. Sources: Reuters, Al Jazeera, CIG TGshow more
