And... where's the revolt? Did you read your source? Did you even check the date? What it said about the opinion of the Mali military?
As said: The French left once uninvited by the government. Who are Putschists but meh that's usual down there, and not likely to change without a prolonged period of stability. I do expect another Putsch to come in soonish as they're not getting things handled either, as said Wagner is often worse than the Jihadis, and on top of that Russia is way overextended as it is. Won't take long until they can't supply their goons down there.
Did you, btw, read up on Russia's media campaign down there. The French are arrogant, no doubt, but that's different from wanting to rule the area or wishing it ill. What you can legitimately blame them for is a disinterest in building up those states, training their militaries, enable them to secure their own territory on their own. Russia saw an opening for its actually colonial ambitions and went for it.
