Africa Corps fighters, a new Russian military unit that replaced the Wagner group in Mali, are accused by refugees and medical workers of multiple rapes and other brutal sexual assaults, including the gang rape of a 14-year-old girl who arrived in Mauritania in critical condition at a makeshift MSF clinic.Mirjam Molenaar and Bethsabee Djoman Elidje from Doctors Without Borders describe how stigma, fear of retaliation, language barriers and an overcrowded informal border settlement mean that most survivors in conservative Malian communities never seek timely care or report abuses attributed both to Africa Corps fighters and militants from the al-Qaeda affiliated JNIM.AP interviews with refugees, combined with past UN findings about atrocities in places such as Moura, suggest a far wider pattern of conflict-related sexual violence by "white" Russian fighters and other armed groups across Mali, while the Russian Defense Ministry stays silent and pro-Kremlin media denounce the allegations as fake news, leaving accountability almost impossible.
