After defeat, Wagner Group leaves Mali

In early June 2025, just a fewer days after the announcement of the withdrawal of Wagner Group from Mali and replacing it with a fresh structure called Africa Corps/African Corps (which is already active in Libya and Burkina Faso), Russian forces were attacked in the north of the country. respective twelve Russian soldiers were killed as a consequence of the ambush. This is simply a brutal combat baptism for the fresh formation, which was to be a continuation of Russian influences in the region after the death of Prigożyn. The attack clearly demonstrates that Wagner Group's massive triumph and exit from Mali is simply a dud, and Russian military presence in Africa is constantly confronted with active opposition from terrorist groups and local armed groups
