Horrific allegations of sexual assault and abuses by a Russian military unit in Mali have emerged, with multiple women reporting rapes and sexual violence by the Africa Corps unit. This unit, which replaced the Wagner mercenary group, is accused of adopting brutal tactics, and Russian authorities may bear responsibility. The conflict in Mali has led to a refugee crisis, with over 150,000 people seeking refuge in Mauritania. Aid organizations are providing support, but underreporting of sexual assaults remains a significant challenge due to societal norms and fear of retaliation.
