And is currently losing a war to jihadists who are going around raping and pillaging villages, massacring soldiers, etc

While Traore sits in the capital, allowing Africa Corps (yes, Russia really named their Wagner replacement the fucking Africa Corps) to plunder the country for its gold, just as they are doing in Mali.

Lmao shut the fuck up. The french were already fighting those terrorists before. Not everything bad that happens in África is orchestrated by "The West".

Terrorists attacked the Sahel, french went to solve the situation AT THE REQUEST OF THE SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES and are quite successful. Suddenly, after severe russian propaganda, military juntas take control of the countries and kick the french out (why did the evil scheming french allow that? They already had their army there to dissolve the juntas if they wanted to).

Now russian mercenaries are the new allies of the Sahel, but turns out they are quite shit, so terrorists in Toyotas are able to ambush them and spread chaos.
