Yesterday evening, an important meeting between the General Staff of Mali and the government of the country took place in the city of Kati, at which key issues relating to national security and strategic decisions were discussed. According to information from Russian Telegram channels associated with the Wagner PMC, the meeting revealed serious disagreements between military and government officials.

One of the main topics of discussion was the General Staff's proposal to release all prisoners of war. However, Mali's Defense Minister Sadio Camara categorically rejected this proposal, which caused significant debate among the meeting participants. Kamara, known for his hard-line stances, said the release of prisoners of war was unacceptable under current conditions, citing security threats and the need to maintain control of the situation.

Another important topic was the fate of the private military company Wagner, whose fighters are actively operating in Mali. Sadio Camara insisted on extending the contract with the Wagner PMC, arguing that this was due to promises made earlier and the need to continue cooperation. However, Mali's transitional president Assimi Goita expressed disagreement with this proposal, categorically saying "no" to Camara's demands.

These disagreements indicate serious tensions within the Malian government and army, which could lead to changes in strategy and approaches to governing the country. The future of the Wagner PMC in Mali remains uncertain.
