A column of Malian government troops and allied Russian mercenaries was routed in a battle with Tuaregs in the north of the country.

Who are the Tuaregs who destroyed the Wagner column in Mali

The Tuareg ethnic group lives in the Sahara region, including northern Mali. In 2012, the group initiated an uprising against the Malian junta government, but their efforts were thwarted by Islamist groups. Following the French military's intervention in 2013, the United Nations deployed its peacekeeping mission, MINUSMA. Despite a peace agreement signed with Bamako in 2015, negotiations broke down at the end of 2022 when the CSP-PSD withdrew from the mission. In 2020, the Mali army seized power again, leading to the departure of the French mission and the deployment of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner PMC to help maintain security within the country. In addition, the Malian government has requested the withdrawal of 12,000 UN peacekeepers, a process that is still ongoing. Since then, the Wagner PMC has become the main foreign force assisting the Malian government in its conflict with various groups, including the Tuareg.

Formerly a rebel movement known as The Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security and Development (CSP-PSD) announced the successful seizure of armored vehicles, trucks and tanks during clashes in the border town of Tinzauaten. In addition, the group reported significant damage to a helicopter that crashed in the city of Kidal, located hundreds of kilometers from the border.
