50 Malian soldiers and allies killed in base attack
The recent attack on Dioura Base in central Mali represents the largest loss for the army since the start of the ongoing conflict over a decade ago, resulting in the deaths of at least 50 soldiers and five members of the Russian "Vanguard Africa" paramilitary group, in addition to the capture of sixty others and numerous injuries. The group "Support of Islam and Muslims" claimed responsibility for the attack carried out on Thursday, which is among the bloodiest in the history of the Mali conflict. This attack comes amid a rising wave of violence that the country has been experiencing since 2012, in the context of deteriorating security conditions and the armed forces turning towards Russia and other elements in an attempt to confront increasing security challenges.
