Three junta-led West African states launched a joint television channel to offer programming in line with their push to de-emphasize Western viewpoints. Tafouk TV, owned by Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, started broadcasting in September, has been praised by Russia’s ambassador in Bamako, and signed a cooperation agreement with the parent company of Moscow’s broadcaster RT to jointly cover events, according to RFI.
这三个国家于2023年组建萨赫勒国家联盟，此后同时与法国断交，并加强与俄罗斯的接触，尤其是开展防御合作，以应对在该半干旱地区日益猖獗的圣战叛乱。莫斯科也正在将合作范围从武器和情报支持领域扩大；未来几年，马里将成为俄罗斯计划建设新文化和教育中心“俄罗斯之家”的八个非洲国家之一。——亚历山大·奥努克武埃
The three countries, which formed the Alliance of Sahel States in 2023, have simultaneously severed ties with France while strengthening engagements with Russia, particularly defense partnerships against jihadist insurgencies thriving in the semi-arid region. Moscow is also expanding beyond arms and intelligence support; Mali will be one of eight African countries where Moscow plans to build new culture and education centers known as ‘Russia Houses’ in the coming years. — Alexander Onukwue
