The military council, led by Assimi Goïta, took over the administration of the country and announced the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections in Mali next year.
The Constitutional Court of Mali declared Goïta a transitional president.
The Russian military consulting company, RSB-GROUP, is reportedly in Mali and carrying out tasks.
It is in fact a cover for other private military companies that the Russians have already thrown into Mali.
The number of people that the Russians sent to solve combat missions in Mali is not known at the moment, it can be measured in both hundreds and thousands, but the fact that the Mali government has been interacting with Russia for a long time is known and a large investigation was done about it in the recent article of the Jeune Afrique.
In it, they wrote about the activity of Russia and cooperation with Mali.
Accordingly, RSB-GROUP may well act as a cover, including for the Russian PMC Wagner.
