The Royal United Service Institute for Defence and Security Studies posted on 27 March 2024 a commentary titled "A Mixed Picture: How Mali Views the Wagner Group" by Antonio Giustozzi.
The Wagner Group continues to operate in Mali in spite of the death of its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in Russia. The Wagner Group has done little to defeat jihadi groups in Mali and may even have presided over a deterioration in the security situation. On the other hand, it has kept the military regime in power.
