Kremlin: Russian forces will not leave Mali, despite threats from Tuareg rebels

The official Kremlin announced this Thursday that Russia will not leave the base in Kati i Mali, despite facing threats from Tuareg rebels.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov shared the decision in a briefing with reporters.

"Russia is present there in connection with the necessity declared by the authorities. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to fight extremism, terrorism and other negative manifestations. And will continue to provide assistance to the current authorities," Peskov said.

Russian paramilitary forces have played a crucial role in supporting Mali's military junta, which has been in power since 2020. /CNA
