Wagner Group have replaced Troops from the former colonial ruler France
Sergey Lavrov is visiting Mali this week on the first official trip by a Russian foreign minister to the West African nation.
Mali’s junta has turned to Moscow to help it Battle Armed Groups.
Fighters from the Wagner Group have replaced troops from the former colonial ruler France.
Wagner is a private military organisation run by an ally of President Vladimir Putin and now operates in several African countries.
So is Moscow extending its reach in Africa at the expense of western powers?
