Mali denies any deployment of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group after a group of 15 Western powers condemn the alleged move
Mali is the epicentre of an insurgency that began in the north of the country in 2012 and spread three years later to neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso.
The denial came following concerns raised by a group of 15 Western powers involved in the fight against militants in the Sahel country. Mali's government "demands that proof be brought to it by independent sources" and said "Russian trainers" were in Mali as part of strengthening the operational capacity of the national defence and security forces.
