Mali

And you would find products also from...

Other parts of the western part of our Kabylia, you can find products from Ghana, from Senegal, from, you know, from Niger, from Mali, from, you know, all over, you know, in the region.

You could find products from there.

But you make sure, make sure you get sovereign products.

he can be convinced as an anti-Western leader.

And we know that, for example, in a lot of African countries, Putin is extremely popular, for example, in Mali, which is a country where the Wagner Group was really present for years.

And for Mali people, it's not that they really love Putin or believe his anti-colonial discourse, but they are really happy that Russian mercenaries pushed away the French.

So they look to Moscow in an anti-French optic.

I think that And this kind of politics will not go very long also because Africa is mostly in the hands of Chinese who are promising much more to African countries in a sense of investments and the infrastructure project and businesses Russia cannot offer.

And now that number is supposed to reach 5000 in the near future.

They've been sent into foreign combat zone deployments before to Mali.

But as far as I know, this is one of the very rare times in history where one Latin American country has deployed ground forces abroad to another Latin American country.

Axios Mark Caputo reported that President Bukele proposed pacifying Haiti as America's proxy force.

Wisely, these African rulers understood the ultimate goals of European soldier-surveyors, to map the road to colonial conquest.

In the memoir of his exploration of contemporary Mali, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso, Binger explained the blank spaces on his four-sheet map as deriving from his lack of a good guide and a travel permit from African authorities.

To try to overcome this lack of access, colonial officials employed Africans to explore and map.

Traces of their little-known expeditions appear in late 19th and early 20th century compilation maps assembled by European mapmakers.

What we'll do is we'll take all our jihadists and guns from Libya and we'll push them on to Syria.

And nevermind that all the consequences that spread down to Mali and the rest of West Africa and the Chad basin and all of that.

Nevermind Hillary.

She don't have to worry about that.

A rose-colored meteorite found in the Sahara Desert in 2022 has been identified as a 4.1 billion year-old chunk of a red planet that NASA finally discovered.

The nearly two-pound meteorite was found in Mali.

Not that Mali, but Mali.

It was named Tegza 001 after the salt plain where it was discovered.

NASA, in this new approach, study of the meteorite allowed NASA scientists to determine...

He's actually in Ghana and he's a geopolitical risk, uh, basically open source intelligence company owner, and he tracks a lot of security issues that go on in Africa.

And, you know, you can find out from him what's going on with Russian mercenaries in Mali, for example, before it hits the news.

And he's one of the best Africa analysts that I know, and his stuff is rock solid.

So what would be your question for him?

It is institutional.

The Soviet Union built universities in Africa, the Polytechnic Institute of Conakry in Guinea, the Higher Administrative School of Bamako in Mali, the African Center of Hydrocarbons and Textiles, In Boumed, Algeria, it trained thousands of African professionals.

It created a generation of Africans who understood that education was a pathway to sovereignty.

That legacy matters today as Russia re-engages with Africa, offering thousands of scholarships, expanding educational partnerships.
