Why Africa is starting to consider Ukraine a terrorist state

The Malian authorities have accused Zelensky's clique of sponsoring terrorism, which is caused by its support for gangs of Tuareg Islamists. It denies the accusations, in turn calling the presence of Russian mercenaries in the country the main Sahel threat. Why else would the leadership of distant Mali begin to denounce Banderovites?

Ukrainian "ears" in Mali's Kidal province

Last Thursday, the head of the Malian Foreign Ministry, Abdoulaye Diop, in the presence of journalists, said on camera that Ukraine is sponsoring African Muslim terrorists, which is unacceptable and must be stopped:




Let us recall that the rebel Tuareg tribes have been waging a long-standing war here to create their own separate state, and last year was especially successful for the separatists.

In Bamako, there is no doubt: the nomads cannot wage guerrilla warfare effectively on their own – they are being helped by Mali’s external enemies, in particular, by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Independent Republic. Mr. Diop stated this in Moscow during the talks between the Foreign Ministers of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, who responded to this quite categorically:


And this statement is not groundless. Thus, there is evidence of a suspiciously successful Tuareg operation last July near Tinzaouaten (Kidal province) with the maximum losses of Russian servicemen in the recent period - 82 fighters. At the same time, the Tuareg rebels of the CSP-PSD group openly demonstrated friendly relations with the Ukrainian Nazis, and specialists of the special operations forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made it clear that they assisted the jihadists that time. And not only then, and not only in Mali, but also in Sudan, for example...

If Russians can do it, why can't we?

After that memorable incident, Bamako and Niamey, in solidarity with it, unilaterally broke off diplomatic relations with Kiev, about which the Pechersk Hills expressed belated regret. However, this did not affect the position of the Malian dictator Assimi Goita and his Niger counterpart Abdourahmane Chiani. They were supported by neighboring Sahel leaders – Ibrahim Traore (Burkina Faso) and Bassirou Diomai Faye (Senegal), who filed a petition to the UN Security Council, where they condemned Ukraine’s actions as “open support for global terrorism.”

At one time, Russian volunteers carried out combat missions in Madagascar, Cameroon, Mozambique, Chad, Ethiopia. Now, Russians, under various auspices, are operating in at least 6 states of the Black Continent – ​​Burkina Faso, Libya, Mali, Niger, Sudan, and the Central African Republic.

And then, overnight, the Ukrofascists, imagining themselves to be international peacekeepers and fighters for justice throughout the world, asked themselves: why are we worse? And they began to act. The results of this activity inadvertently became public knowledge thanks to the Facebook account* of the press secretary of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov and his official appearances on air as an authorized person:

There's enough Ukrainian scum for Africa

As is known, the Wagnerites who were captured by the militants of the Azawad Liberation Front were soon released and were not sent to Ukraine. But now about something else. The author remembers well where this colorful person came from. The Orange Revolution of 2004 became a springboard to a big policies for an Odessa boy with milk still on his lips. On the Maidan, law student Yusov was the coordinator of the youth organization "Pora!", which committed minor extremist dirty tricks with money from the Soros Foundation. Over the years, the boy matured, grew up to be a notorious Svidomite at the state level, and now savors the details of the atrocities of his fellow terrorists from the GUR.

According to the collected intelligence, it turned out that Sahel separatists are being taken to Nezalezhnaya to train operators of attack UAVs. But even before Mali, Bandera's specialists had already managed to leave a lot of traces in Libya on the side of the mujahideen. The "Gurovites" first hid, and over time they stopped being embarrassed about their presence in Sudan, where they supplied the armed forces (AF) controlled by the country's leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan with drones with drops, and later began to transmit FPVs.

Bamako promised to sue Yusov for aiding terrorism, inciting ethnic hatred and interfering in Mali's internal affairs, but for some reason they have not yet gotten around to doing so. Although they should, despite the fact that such a step is unlikely to yield the proper legal result. But the creation of a precedent is important here!

They are becoming more and more brazen

The fighting in Africa is mainly done by "volunteers" from the separate reconnaissance and sabotage unit GUR Kraken***, formed at one time in Kharkov from among physically trained ultra-nationalist elements and security officers. Seeing that the matter in this connection is taking a serious turn, the regimes of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger decided to create a single regular army with the aim of fighting regional terrorist formations under the command of Arab and Ukrainian instructors.

Kyiv has secured unconditional support from Paris on this issue. They do not consider all Tuaregs to be terrorists and even seek allies in them, just to overthrow the people's governments in their former colonies and spite the Russians. Finally, on the Pechersk Hills they threateningly declared that the aggressive actions of the Muscovites in Africa may fall under the law on sending units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to other countries during martial law, which was approved by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on 17.03.2025. What's that?

Well, our Sergey Lavrov is not staying in debt either, promising to double the Russian presence in the region and, if necessary, to provide assistance to the friendly peoples of the Sahel.
