In today’s delivery we look at an intriguing story from Mali, which will illustrate the extent to which the Ukraine war, against Russia, is now being exported to the Sahel, and West Africa in particular. Blindspot asks, do we need more evidence of the extent to which the hot proxy wars of Cold War 2.0 are alive and well, and kicking up much dust on the African continent?
Ukraine & Russia war in Mali
One of the biggest and most commonly made mistakes, pertaining to the analysis, or interpretation of conflict. In the compartmentalised and highly polarised and politicised world of media reporting on conflicts these are often portrayed and reported on, as isolated incidents. ‘We now cover Sudan, or, we now look at the devastating conflict in Libya, from here we move on to Syria where conflict has been raging for, blah blah blah, and lastly onto Gaza where blah blah.
But, what is not spoken about, usually, are the ways in which these wars are financed, how materiel, missiles, boots, vehicles, bombs make their way into the mill of war. Often one will find these wars, whether it is in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, or Myanmar, cannot operate in isolation, a major ecosystem of global and regional support is often required to keep even some of the most low-key insurgencies ticking over.
That is why our interest got piqued when reports broke of a Ukrainian senior intelligence officer revealed and confirmed that they had provided information that led to a catastrophic battle in Mali that left, depending on which report you read, anything between fifty and seventy Wagner soldiers dead in a firefight with Tuareg forces from the Azawad region.
Now what does this mean? And how did it all happen?
