Translated Text: MALI 🇲🇱 | Dioura Attack: Africa Corps Members Among the Dead 🔴 5 Russian paramilitaries from Africa Corps 🇷🇺 are said to have been killed during the JNIM attack on 09/10. The information was published by AFP on 09/14 midday, then picked up by other media outlets including Le Figaro, RFI, TV5MONDE, and Serge Daniel overnight (📽️ below). Their sources (a local elected official as well as a Malian officer) speak of "50 to 80 soldiers killed," "many prisoners," and "five Africa Corps elements." 🔶 In parallel, a 4th communiqué from the Malian government (📸 below) mentions new neutralizations of terrorists in the Dioura area. The communiqué still does not specify whether the FAMa have regained control of the camp. ⚠️ No communication from Africa Corps regarding its participation or its losses. It remains to be determined the exact role of the five Russians: were they engaged in the fighting or did they belong to a detachment on site for training missions?
