The army, backed by Russian mercenaries from the Africa Korps, the successors to the Wagner Group, is fighting armed groups that now control around two-thirds of the country. This escalation has triggered a massive exodus: since October 2023, more than 300,000 Malians have fled to eastern Mauritania, with even more heading to Algeria. They are escaping violence linked to Malian forces and their Russian allies, as well as blockades by JNIM jihadists, affiliated with Al-Qaeda, who have cut off supplies to towns, all the way to Bamako. The Malian army denies all accusations of abuse, saying its operations only target armed groups, particularly jihadists. A few months ago, we reported that Wagner, the Russian private military company, had rebranded itself as the Africa Corps. A new Name, but not a better reality for the people of Mali. Increasing numbers of people have been fleeing their country. Some carry evidence of the violence with them. Verified footage is showing what remains of the marketplace in the Village of Feyadji in Mali&#8217;s Mopti region. It&#8217;s alleged that the Africa Corps burned it down. While images of atrocities like that are rare, there is no shortage of testimony that paints an even darker picture. Our report from the Malian border in Mauritania brings more voices to light. <\/p>\n<p>#Mali #Refugees #AfricaCorps<br \/>\nFor more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past two years, conflict in Mali has been intensifying.
