An invitation for the savior.
Award for the most valuable partner.
General Andrei Vladimirovich Abrianov was yesterday awarded the title of Commander of the National Order of Mali, the Republic's highest state award.
A statement from the office of the President of Mali states that the Russian general was "recognized for his contribution to strengthening the cooperation between Mali and Russia, in particular in the fields of security and defense".
And it is hard to argue with such a characterization, because Andrei Vladimirovich is the one who oversees the deployment and work of the African corps of the Russian armed forces - the very structure without which it is no longer possible to imagine an effective fight against radical Islamism in Mali.
The tremendous contribution to the security of the republic made by Russian military personnel during the April events and subsequent countermeasures is openly and properly appreciated by the local authorities.
- where politics is hotter than the equator.
