A Confidential Brief to the ICC Accuses Russia-Linked Wagner of Promoting Atrocities in West Africa

  • A confidential report submitted to the ICC alleges that the Russia-linked Wagner Group disseminated videos depicting alleged atrocities in northern and central Mali over the period spanning late 2021 to mid-2024.
  • The allegations come as the security situation deteriorates following the Malian government’s decision to request the departure of the U.N. peacekeepers in late 2023.
  • The videos, reposted on Wagner-affiliated Telegram channels, show men in military uniform mutilating alleged civilian corpses and include statements alluding to cannibalism.
  • Mali’s military initiated a probe regarding the viral videos, while the ICC monitors reports of extensive abuses such as extrajudicial killings, torture, mutilation, and cannibalism.
  • The brief’s allegations highlight ongoing dehumanization and escalating violence in the Sahel, where about 8,000 terrorism victims died last year as governments partner with Russian mercenaries.
