Russia's Africa Strategy Dented as Mali Military Suffers Reversals, Loses Kidal

Russia's Africa Corps was forced to withdraw from the strategic town while Moscow deployed helicopter gunships and strategic bombers to hold back militants. The events threaten Russia's strategic position in West Africa as its forces remain tied down in Ukraine.
