Russian private military company Wagner has announced its departure from Mali after three and a half years of fighting Islamist militants. Wagner claimed to have restored control of regional centers to the Malian military junta, eliminating key insurgent leaders.
Mali has faced jihadist and separatist violence since 2012. After a military coup in 2020, the junta cut ties with Western allies and turned to Russia for support. Wagner, active in Ukraine, the Middle East, and other African nations, was taken over by Russia's Defense Ministry following the death of its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in a plane crash in 2023.
