Mali is facing renewed tensions after Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maiga accused France and Algeria of backing terrorist groups in the Sahel. His remarks came during a military exhibition attended by officials from Russia, Niger, and Burkina Faso, highlighting Mali’s shift toward Moscow. As France withdraws and Russia’s presence expands, terrorist groups have imposed a fuel blockade, crippling civilians and worsening the humanitarian crisis. The African Union has voiced concern, while France, UK, and the US urge their citizens to leave. Caught between foreign influence and internal conflict, Mali is fighting to maintain stability and sovereignty amid a growing crisis.
