Last week, a large-scale attack on a central military base in Mali resulted in the deaths of at least 50 soldiers and five Russian paramilitaries. Jihadist groups claimed responsibility for the deadly assault, which targeted the Mali military installation.
The country has been experiencing a serious security crisis since 2012. This ongoing instability is primarily fueled by violence from criminal gangs, armed separatists, and jihadists allied with Al-Qaeda.
