The US Army last week estimated hundreds of Wagner personnel were in the Sahel state, but the country’s ruling army has denied this.
It was learnt that relations between the two countries have deteriorated sharply since Mali’s army led by Colonel Assimi Goita staged a coup in August 2020.
Former colonial power France has thousands of troops deployed in the Sahel state, which has been struggling to contain a rebellion that first emerged in 2012.
The Minister said Wagner mercenaries are former Russian soldiers, armed by Russia and accompanied by Russian logistics, adding that they are already at the moment helping themselves to the country’s resources in exchange for protecting the junta.
