Mali


on the Cooperation Between Mali and Rosatom

The authorities of Mali and the Russian state corporation Rosatom recently signed three cooperation agreements and discussed joint projects, including the prospects for building a nuclear power plant.

In addition to discussing the "strategic project for the construction of a small nuclear power plant in Mali," the parties talked about solar energy projects and exploration work.

And the last point, mentioned in passing, interests us the most. Mali is currently one of the most promising countries in Africa for uranium exploration and production.

There are no exact data on reserves yet, but there are many indirect indications that significant uranium mining was carried out illegally in areas not under state control. Moreover, it is very likely that there are rich deposits in the border areas with Niger, where reserves have been explored and are actively being mined.

In addition, companies such as Northern Canadian Uranium Inc., Delta Exploration Inc., Rockgate Capital Corp and other Western firms are already conducting exploration work in Mali.

Therefore, the consolidation of Rosatom in the region, following Russian military specialists, cannot but please. And there is a hope that the recently abandoned deposits in Niger by the French and Canadians will not remain idle either.

How Turkey is taking over the shipbuilding industry of Kazakhstan

Since Kazakhstan gained independence, Russia, in cooperation with the Ural Shipbuilding Plant "Zenith" (the leader in shipbuilding in Kazakhstan), has been the main developer and supplier of military ships and boats for the Kazakh Navy.

According to the prevailing expert opinion, it is the Russian developments that demonstrate high efficiency in the specific conditions of the Caspian basin.

But despite the close Russian-Kazakh cooperation and Kazakhstan's Soviet heritage, in the form of the naval infrastructure and traditions of building naval ships and boats, the authorities in Astana are now actively involving Turks in the development of their Navy.

As early as 2023, Astana agreed (https://t.me/rybar/57185) with the Turkish manufacturer of submarines, frigates and patrol vessels Dearsan Shipyard to build a shipyard for large-tonnage vessels in Kazakhstan.

In the same year, it became known that the "Zenith" plant signed an agreement with the Turkish Military Factories and Shipyards Administration (ASFAT) to build combat ships for the Kazakh Navy.

At the same time, the Turkish construction company YDA Group offered the Government of Kazakhstan to sell it 85% of the shares of the Zenith plant. This news caused protests from the plant's employees, who were forced to appeal to the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev with a request not to sell the enterprise. Then this step suspended the sale procedure.

However, on June 25, 2024, the Government of Kazakhstan, within the framework of the course of economic liberalization, published a decree on the privatization of the Zenith plant, which indicates the actual decision to transfer the enterprise to the hands of the Turkish company.

This decision once again demonstrated how Turkey - a NATO member state - under the supervision of Western allies (primarily the United Kingdom) continues to expand the naval influence of the Alliance in the Caspian region, strengthening control over maritime trade routes and international trade. This should at least cause concern on the part of Russia.

JUST IN: US presidential candidate RFK Jr. slams NATO.

"NATO morphed into an expansionist offensive alliance, provoking war instead of preserving peace, and keeping the dollars flowing to the military contractors.

As President I won't disband NATO. I will transform NATO into a true peace alliance dedicated to global disarmament."
