The Russian-backed mercenary force Wagner will leave Mali, the group reports via Telegram.

Wagner has been in the country since the now ruling military junta took power in 2021.

Moscow has in recent years expanded its military presence in Africa and used Wagner previously to achieve its goals. This changed when the group's leader Yevgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash in 2023, just weeks after he led a rebellion against the Kremlin.
