VisitMali, Niger, Burkina Faso Urge UN Action on Ukraine's Alleged Sahel Rebel Support
Aug 21, 2024, 07:35 AM
The conflict between Kyiv and Moscow has reportedly extended to Africa's Sahel region, with allegations of Ukrainian military support for rebel groups in Mali. A recent ambush in Mali resulted in the deaths of 84 Russian Wagner mercenaries and 47 Malian soldiers. In response, the governments of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, part of the Sahel Confederation, have written to the United Nations Security Council, accusing Ukraine of supporting terrorism in the region. These West African countries are urging the UN to take action against Kyiv for its alleged involvement in the Sahel's instability, following a Ukrainian official's admission of involvement in an attack by Al-Qaeda linked militants.
