#FirstpostAfrica: Russia’s Wagner Group has quit Mali after more than three years, claiming its “mission is complete.” But a new report by U.S.-based watchdog The Sentry paints a very different picture—describing Wagner’s Mali operations as a “multilayered catastrophe.” The report highlights military failures, including a crushing defeat at Tinzaouatène, rising civilian casualties, and deep divisions within Mali’s junta. Wagner also failed to secure mining deals, leaving it dependent on Moscow.
