The Head of the Transitional Council of Chad, Mahamat DÉBY, current President of the G5 for the Sahel, will visit Bamako at the end of November to meet Malian President Assimi GOITA.
At the center of the talks between the two there are also relationships between Mali and Russia, in particular the possibility, repeatedly mentioned by the international media, that Bamako will start a collaboration with the private security company WAGNER.
In this sense, one of the objectives of DÉBY's visit would be to undermine this collaboration, not formalized by the parties yet, and avert a crisis with the other G5 countries, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger and precisely Chad.
The role of WAGNER in the Sahel and the problems connected to it have also been the subject of recent talks held in Paris between Mahamat DÉBY himself, the President of Burkina Faso, Roch Marc Christian KABORÉ, the President of Niger, Mohamed BAZOUM, and the French President Emmanuel MACRON.
