Musicians at the base are now in a challenging position. Holiday in Africa is over for the Afrika Korps.

Due to complete lack of interest, I stopped posting updates on the collapse in Mali and the potential take over of the country of jihadists.

But the Wagner group has taken severe losses in men and material.

And right now, 150 of them are surrounded.

I didn’t realise that Wagner was still a thing. Weren’t they taken over by the regular Russian army?

They call themselves the Afrika Korps (yes, this way of writing it is intentional and how they write it). But it’s essentially Wagner. It was taken over by the Russian army, but it is now just a wing of said army. Russians use it for rotation from Ukraine to let experienced higher value veterans rest. But it’s Wagner.
