HYBRID ACTIVITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE SAHEL: THE CASE OF MALI
This article investigates the hybrid operations of the Russian Federation in the Sahel region, with a particular emphasis on Mali as a case study. It delves into the concept of hybrid warfare/threats and examines its implementation by Russia through mechanisms such as private military companies and disinformation campaigns. The analysis underscores Russia’s strategic objectives in the region, encompassing both economic benefits and the pursuit of geopolitical influence. Furthermore, the study evaluates the implications of these activities for regional stability and European security. The article concludes with recommendations for Western states to mitigate Russian influence and bolster stability in the Sahel region.
