The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The fallout from the Malian government's hostility towards France and its European partners is becoming increasingly apparent. Now that the shadowy Russian Wagner group is active in Mali, the country's security situation is rapidly deteriorating. The Russian troops aren't focused on the people's security but on pursuing Moscow's interests.

Associated Press

Establishment-critical narrative

The deteriorating security crisis in West Africa is primarily the result of the West's decade-long political and military interference under the guise of fighting terrorism. It's no coincidence that anti-European sentiment is rising while calls for Russian engagement have recently grown louder. There will only be hope for the region when it's no longer possible for the West to pursue its geopolitical interests unchallenged.
