Anyone want to take bets on whether Wagner is involved?

5th largest exporter of Uranium, huh?

The root cause of this is Islamic jihadism sprawling out of control across the Sahel. it's causing a ton of instability and governments are struggling to withstand it.

It's the reason Wagner is in the region to begin with, and why Western militaries have a presence in the region. Definitely plays an important role in international interest as well.

Islam is by itself jihad.
