Russia has launched fresh airstrikes in Mali, signalling it has no intention of leaving the Sahel despite mounting pressure. Footage shows Russia’s Africa Corps targeting rebel positions as Bamako attempts to regain control after coordinated attacks. While the Malian government projects strength, Tuareg rebels are escalating their messaging, calling for France to return as a security partner. Moscow has firmly rejected any withdrawal, doubling down on its role in Mali’s counterterror operations. With jihadist groups active and alliances shifting, the conflict is evolving into a wider geopolitical contest, raising questions over who will ultimately shape Mali’s security future.
