 Russia and Sahel states deepen military ties as insurgent attacks persist


Russia and the West African countries making up the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) - Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso - have pledged ‌to strengthen military cooperation as jihadist insurgents gain ground in the region, according to a joint statement issued after talks in Niger's capital, Niamey.


Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met ⁠counterparts from the three military-led countries, which all turned to Moscow for support after breaking with France and other Western allies.


The officials welcomed "growing military and military-technical cooperation", including assistance from Russia's paramilitary Africa Corps.


Russia confirmed its intention to continue helping to strengthen the armed forces of the AES member states and of ‌their "Unified ⁠Force", the statement said, Reuters reported.


In April, the regional al Qaeda affiliate and a Tuareg-led separatist group staged attacks across Mali and killed the defence ​minister. On Saturday ​they attacked ⁠numerous army posts.


The statement alleged, without evidence, that "external state actors" including ​Ukraine and France were involved in attacks ​in ⁠the region. Both have denied such allegations.


Lavrov also visited Ethiopia on his Africa tour. A Russia-Africa ⁠summit ​is planned for October.
