'We have no indication that Wagner is decreasing its intent to exploit African countries despite the events of last weekend,' the NSC's John Kirby said.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, as the U.N. Security Council unanimously voted to end the U.N. Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali , National Security Council Strategic Communications Director John Kirby recalled how the government of Mali, led by Interim President Assimi Goïta since a May 2021 military coup, withdrew its consent for the mission this month and demanded its immediate departure.
Kirby hailed MINUSMA's work, saying the U.N. Peacekeeping force was dedicated to"protecting civilians, facilitating economic development and advancing Molly's transition to democracy." He warned its termination"will only make worse economic hardship in the country and contribute to broader internal and regional instability while moving only further away from the goal of the successful democratic transition.
Protesters holds a banner reading"Thank you Wagner," the name of the Russian private military company present in Mali, during a demonstration organized by the pan-Africanist platform Yerewolo to celebrate France's announcement to withdraw French troops from Mali, in Bamako, on February 19, 2022.Protests have emerged in several countries over the past year in support of Moscow and against international deployments, including those of U.N.
