Malian militants receive aid from Libya
Azawad militants in Mali receive a supply convoy from Libya. Since the fall of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the country has struggled to establish a functioning government, and conflict between warring factions has resulted in instability and an inability of the central government to guarantee security. External actors have taken advantage of the lawlessness in Libya to use the country as a staging ground to support factions in regional conflicts. Much of the aid funneled by UAE to RSF rebels in Sudan flows through Libya, and the RSF often retreats to the Libyan desert to regroup and resupply. Similar support is given to Azawad militants in Mali, who are at odds with the government, the Russian Africa Corps supporting the government, and with the Islamic militants plaguing the Sahel.
