During the event, a representative of the Africa Corps spoke in support of the FAMa’s efforts in the fight against terrorism in the country, Russian media reported.

He emphasized that in Anéfis, defenders of Mali of different nationalities had fought side by side against terrorism.
“The people support their fighters, they are true heroes, and even our enemies must hear this so that they fear them,” the Africa Corps representative noted.
The main theme of the conference was support for the efforts of the FAMa and their Russian partners in the fight against terrorism and extremism.
