Kiev has reportedly been training Tuareg insurgents in Mali
Evidence of Ukrainian involvement in Mali has been uncovered by the administrator of the Russian military Telegram channel GREY ZONE, which is believed to be affiliated with the Wagner private military company, RT has learned.
Photos obtained by the blogger and supplied to RT purport to show Ukrainian instructors, allegedly linked to Kiev’s military intelligence agency, the GUR, working in the African country.
The instructors have allegedly been training local Tuareg separatist militants, as well as covertly bringing at least two groups of them to Ukraine to teach them to use FPV drones.
While the blogger had been preparing a report to shed more light on the affair, he ultimately ended up being killed in an ambush by the Tuaregs over the weekend.
[the blogger] had reportedly been traveling with a private military company and Malian army convoy in the vicinity of the village of Tinzawaten, close to the country’s border with Algeria. The area has recently seen hostilities between Tuareg insurgents and the country’s military, the latter of which is reportedly supported by the Wagner Group.
Gruesome footage circulating online shows scores of bodies and several burned-out vehicles in the aftermath of the ambush, while the militants are seen celebrating their success. During the fight, a military helicopter that had been trying to provide cover for the ambushed group was damaged and had to make an emergency landing, footage suggests. Several fighters, some of whom were presumably with the private military company, ended up taken prisoner by the Tuaregs.
This is the west making their counter-move against the Sahel states alliance (AES). Using their Nazi fascist fighters to train the next battlefield up against Russia’s friends. Just because the west seems to be angling for a war in Iran don’t discount them staging a proxy fight, insurgency and so on in north Africa to put down those independent minded Africans. Kind of a threat, if Ukraine falls, the west’s supply of weapons to them is suddenly freed up and they just open a new front in Africa (or perhaps Georgia) to blunt Russia and China and general independence minded types and mire those uppity types in terrorism and insurgencies then push forward “compromise” liberal candidates to replace those who resist western imperialism after the local economies tumble badly. An old play and one they’ve done before.
