Russian state or Wagner For the political authorities in Mali

In Mali, what are the consequences after an aborted rebellion launched by Evgueni Prigojine and his Wagner men against the Kremlin? “Even if it is still early to draw conclusions, whatever the consequences, it will be a question for the political authorities in Mali to choose a camp”, estimates the lawyer and political scientist Oumar Berté. The paramilitary group arrived in the country in December 2021, at the call of the Malian transitional authorities, who have only ever recognized “state-to-state cooperation”.
