Russian Forces in Mali Struggle Against Jihadist Blockade

Russian soldiers are helping the Malian army fight against bad guys called jihadists.

These bad guys are blocking roads and stopping fuel from coming into the country.

The Russian soldiers are trying to stop this, but it's really hard.

Some people say the Russian soldiers are doing bad things too, which the bad guys are using to make people like them more.

The bad guys are threatening to make things worse by attacking the people bringing fuel into the country.
