A Massacre of Civilians and Herders in the Kidal RegionOn February 16 and 17, 2025, a patrol of the Malian army, accompanied by Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group, conducted a large-scale operation against two Hilux-brand transport vehicles and herders in the Kidal region.In total, thirty-five people were coldly executed, including twenty-four passengers, among whom were two women, two young girls, and one child. These victims were traveling from Gao to Bordj Badji Mokhtar, Algeria, when the attack occurred in the locality of Aslagh.According to witnesses, one of the vehicles managed to escape, but four passengers were killed and one woman injured on board. The patrol also opened fire on a herd of animals that was drinking, killing two herders on the spot. Their bodies, rigged with explosives, caused the deaths of two other people who came later to bury them.The toll stands at more than 35 civilians killed in the single day of February 16, according to testimonies accompanied by photos and videos.That same evening, an airstrike was reported against a civilian vehicle in Tin Adjoumas, in the Aguelhok commune, Kidal region. This attack claimed the life of one civilian and injured another.

Mali: It was the arrival of President Assimi Goïta at the funeral of Army General Sadio Camara, April 30, 2026

Russian mercenaries in Mali just surrendered to Tuareg rebels and walked out alive, leaving their Malian partners trapped at the base to die...After two days of getting hammered by Tuareg rebels and al-Qaeda fighters in the northern city of Kidal, Russian African Corps fighters got completely surrounded at their base.The rebels offered them a way out: lay down your weapons, walk out peacefully, you live. The Russians handed over their guns and left.The shameful part is these Russians weren't alone at that base. They were stationed there alongside the Malian soldiers they were literally being paid to protect, the actual military of the country that hired them. When the Russians cut their deal and walked away, they didn't take the Malians with them.They didn't negotiate the same exit. They didn't even try. They just left them surrounded, knowing exactly what was coming next.This is what the Wagner-rebranded African Corps actually delivers when the bullets start flying. African governments have been paying Russia for security for years, getting told they're hiring elite operators who'll defend them when the West won't. What they got in Mali was a mercenary force that bailed the moment the math turned against them and traded the lives of their hosts for safe passage.The lesson for every African government currently shopping Russian security partnerships is sitting right there. When it gets ugly, the people you paid to fight for you will fight for themselves first.

Q & A highlights

Q: With the ongoing crisis, are you seeing a resurgence in demand for oil-linked long-term LNG contracts, and could this unlock more LNG projects like PNG?

A: Patrick Pouyanne, CEO, explained that the crisis has highlighted the importance of long-term contracts for LNG, especially in Asia. He noted that while there might be a shift towards domestic energy sources like coal and renewables, the demand for LNG remains strong. The crisis may delay some projects, but it also underscores the need for reliable energy sources, potentially benefiting TotalEnergies’ LNG projects.

Q: Could you elaborate on the potential for accelerating short-cycle investments and the steps towards FID for Papua New Guinea?

A: Patrick Pouyanne, CEO, mentioned that the company is exploring opportunities to accelerate short-cycle investments, particularly in countries like Angola, to capitalize on higher oil prices. Regarding Papua New Guinea, he stated that the project is progressing well, with fiscal terms nearly finalized and a target to sanction the project before the end of the year.

Q: Can you provide insights into the impact of the early closing of the EPH transaction and the company’s cash return strategy?

A: Patrick Pouyanne, CEO, highlighted that the early closing of the EPH transaction allows TotalEnergies to benefit from higher electricity prices in Europe. Regarding cash returns, he emphasized the company’s commitment to a cash payout ratio above 40% for 2026, with potential for increased buybacks if oil prices remain high.

Q: What are the operational and logistical challenges in restarting production in the Middle East, and what’s the status of the Mozambique LNG project?

A: Patrick Pouyanne, CEO, explained that restarting production involves logistical challenges like moving tankers and ensuring stability in the region. For Mozambique LNG, he confirmed a $20 billion budget with a target to produce first LNG by 2029, noting that the project is 42% complete.

A: Patrick Pouyanne, CEO, stated that QatarEnergy declared force majeure for its JVs, impacting TotalEnergies’ limited contracts. The company decided not to pass on the force majeure to its customers. The Qatari LNG expansion is expected to be delayed by two months, with first LNG from NFE anticipated by late 2026 or early 2027.

Russian and Malian military abandon "superbase" in northern MaliServicemen of the "African Corps" and Malian military have left the Tessalit "super camp"—a key stronghold for the military in northern Mali, AFP agency reported, citing representatives of the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) and local officials. The withdrawal was confirmed by the pro-military blog "Rybar." Next, Russian and Malian military may abandon Aguelhok, Anefis, and Gao, Heni Nsaibia, senior analyst at the ACLED conflict monitoring project, told the "Agency."Details. France24 also reports that Russian military and the Malian army have lost control over the Tessalit base. According to AFP, this happened after rebel attacks on Friday.A source in Gao's security structures (south of Tessalit) told AFP that there were "no clashes" during the capture of Tessalit by rebel forces, and that regular troops had already left when the attackers entered the territory.A local official told AFP that Russian military had also abandoned their positions in the areThe "African Corps" has not confirmed this in its account. The "Afrikar" project, run by the team of the Z-blog "Rybar," reported that the camp in Tessalit "was abandoned by Malian Armed Forces units as part of a tactical maneuver to avoid encirclement and preserve personnel for a counterstrike."The Telegram channel "White Uncles in Africa," which covers the activities of the Wagner PMC in Africa, published videos filmed by rebels at what is claimed to be a military base in Tessalit. At the same time, the channel writes, there were no reports of fighting in the region.Russia's positions in Mali. Tessalit is a key base for the military with a long runway, which was first used by the French and then by Russian military, Ulf Laessing, head of the Sahel program at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, told the "Agency" in an interview. All roads from Algeria pass through Tessalit and from there lead deeper into Mali, he noted.The withdrawal from Tessalit should be seen as part of a larger tactical pullout, believes Heni Nsaibia, senior analyst at the ACLED conflict monitoring project: "Yesterday's reports showed that they are also leaving Aguelhok, Anefis, and Gao in addition to the withdrawal from other areas mentioned earlier. This allows the forces to concentrate in other places and secure those areas."Attacks on Timbuktu, Gao, and Menaka—the three main cities in the north—could become the next challenge for Malian and Russian military, says Laessing. Tessalit is already the fourth base lost by Russian military, the expert noted. He did not specify which bases exactly are in question. Earlier reports mentioned a withdrawal from Kidal. According to Nsaibia, Malian and Russian military have also pulled back from Ber, Tessit, and Labbezanga. "The north of the country is slipping out of control," Laessing believes.The latest events in Mali point to an intelligence failure, a crisis of authority, and a partial collapse of the army at key strongholds and strategically important sites, Nsaibia believes.The retreat allows the Malian army and the "African Corps" to concentrate forces around Bamako and its surroundings. This could help stabilize the situation in the short term, Nsaibia notes.However, stabilization comes at the cost of a serious strategic defeat, including the loss of most of the territories previously recaptured, the expert believes. In his opinion, even if the military junta regime in Mali holds out, the latest events will still be a serious strategic and reputational blow to the Kremlin, especially given the scale of territorial losses and the inability to prevent large-scale coordinated attacksSupport from Russian paramilitary structures was positioned as one of the key pillars of the junta's security strategy, Daniel Eisinger, researcher at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, told the "Agency" in an interview. "However, the unrelenting and expanding activity of militants calls into question the effectiveness of this approach," the expert noted.
