The kind where America is expected to go solve everyone’s problems
Well, the current government in Mali is the result of a military coup. The previous, elected government was friendly with France, and the new, military coup crowd is friendly with Russia.
Then when the coup guys decided that they didn't need to hold elections when they said they would, they got condemned by the US.
Russia, China block UN Security Council from supporting new sanctions on Mali
Russia and China blocked the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday from supporting new sanctions on Mali for its military leaders’ decision to delay next month’s elections until 2026, a blow to the restoration of democracy in the troubled West African nation.
So I vaguely imagine that said government probably isn't asking the US to become involved, because the US's position is that they should have held elections.
