Although it looks like it was filmed in the early 00s, this footage shows Tuareg Berber rebels ambushing a Wagner convoy in Mali. Viewer discretion is advised as the Russian casualties are shown, and the imagery is graphic. The governing body in Mali has contracted Wagner to help fight Jihadi and separatist groups, turning to Russia to fill the gaps after expelling French units with decades of operational experience in the area. Given the many civilians killed and Wagner troops lost, it's safe to say results have been mixed. It should be noted that the Tuaregs shown here are fighting for territorial independence, and have been doing so since the 1990s. While ISIS-related groups certainly benefit from their activities and vice versa, the Tuareg political stance is not one that stems from Jihadism.
