Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] IWN reports that according to the Malian military, employees of the Wagner PMC have already settled in the former French military base in Timbuktu, from where the French were driven at the end of 2021. The base in Timbuktu will become the center for providing training by PMCs to the military personnel of the Malian army. It is also stated that the army of Mali will receive several Mi-17 helicopters and other military equipment as military support.

The Wagner deployment comes amid French tantrums and complaints that France is being effectively kicked out of a country it considered part of its sphere of influence. Hence the sanctions against the government of Mali through the EU and some African states dependent on France.

The military government that came to power after the coup explicitly states that Mali is fighting for national sovereignty and against French neo-colonialism. Calls for a boycott of all French goods and companies are spreading throughout the country.

Having got rid of the French colonial oppression, Mali will become a free country! Colonel Utkin will see to this.

A huge rally was held in Bomako just now in support of the military government and against French colonial aggression.

In addition, Sweden also announced the withdrawal of its troops from Mali.

France's attempts to raise the issue of Mali at the level of the UN Security Council were blocked by Russia and China.

In total, up to 500 armed people at the right time in the right place, and these are such wonderful consequences.

The decolonization movement in the French neo-colonial sphere of influence is bound to become contagious. After the Central African Republic and Mali, the next country liberated from French oppression could be Niger or Burkina Faso ..
