FAMINE AND LOOTING AS WEAPONS OF WAR – USAID IS USED BY MALI TO FEED RUSSIAN MERCENARIES AND FUEL THE AZAWAD CONFLICT.
These past days we have seen a lot of tweets on X regarding how the Malian junta and the Africa Corps are using US aid (USAID) to feed Russian mercenaries instead of giving it to people in need as it´s supposed to be intended.
Amasakol is writing – “For anyone wondering where the international humanitarian aid coming to Mali is going. Well you have the answer. It is seized by FAMAS and their partners Africa Corps, and then sent to various army barracks as supplies.”
In other words – It`s used to fuel the Azawad war instead of reaching people in need as intended and Famine and looting are being used as weapons of war by the Malian government.
Comments on X – Walid – “The last stocks of food aid provided by USAID are today being consumed by Russian mercenaries and Malian military personnel.
@DonaldTrump may not have been wrong in stating that aid intended for Sahel countries rarely benefits the truly vulnerable people.
Note: these products were abandoned yesterday by the Afrika-Korps along the Anafis–Kidal axis..”
These products in the picture above were abandoned yesterday by the Afrika Corps along the Anafis–Kidal axis.
Here´s another tweet where the Ililou n`Azawad batallion says that – “US AID for Wagner abandoned on the road to Kidal, DonaldTrump did well to suspend his aid for Mali.”
What is the USAID? The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the principal U.S. agency to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.
One thing is sure, the Malian governement and the Africa Corps (ex Wagner) are not engaging in any kind of democratic reforms – none. Rather the contrary in order to stay in power as long as possible.
What kind of democratic reform is it to perform genocide on parts of the population under the disguise of “fighting terrorists” and when said people take up arms to defend themselves they call it “terrorism” ?
We would rather say that performing this genocide against the Azawadian population is the actual terrorism – it violates all laws of human rights and in many cases much possibly is war crimes.
Many times we have read reports affirming that the Africa Corps and the Malian army are much worse than any of the actual terrorists groups operating in the area.
So where is the justice? where is the justice in not using aid money for vulnerable people in need (like the Azawadians, victims of genocide by the Malian army with help of the Russian Corps) but instead famine and looting is used as weapons of war?
