Here’s how I walked into the English-language TV studio at France 24 in Paris to speak about crimes, including rape of children and massacre of civilians, by Russian paramilitaries deployed across West and Central Africa.

Ukrainian soldiers captured a Kenyan citizen serving in the Russian army in Kharkiv Oblast. The captured Kenyan national, who claimed to be an athlete back at home, said he traveled to Russia as a tourist and was deceived into joining the Russian army.
Russia recruits teens for drone production in same factory where African women were forced to assemble Iranian made drones
Spoke about killings and abuses committed by Russian mercenaries in West and Central Africa at the migration congress in Mérida, Spain. Many were shocked.
Two years ago, I became the first African to receive the Jaime Brunet International Prize for documenting “more than a hundred human rights abuses committed by mercenaries from the Wagner Group and their allies in West Africa.” Sadly, Wagner atrocities still continue in Africa.
Dear Europe — Russia is planning a massive, multi-layered crisis designed to shatter your stability, including orchestrated migration surges & coordinated disinformation to fracture NATO & EU unity. Putin is not bluffing. He’s preparing the ground while the West debates. Wake up!
The number of African migrants in Russia is rising sharply. Relatives from Cameroon report the deaths of their loved ones who signed contracts for work in Russia and ended up in the war in Ukraine. Some went into it knowingly, while others expected civilian jobs with high salaries.
A Russian soldier records a large group of African mercenaries who have been recruited to fight in the war against Ukraine. While filming them from behind, he quietly remarks in Russian: "Look how many disposables are here."
Young people across the world must join the fight against Russian disinformation because it is a hybrid war weapon flooding our feeds with lies, from fueling coups in Africa to destabilizing democracies in Europe, all to exploit our continent, divide us & weaken the global order
I’ve been saying this for many months and I’ll continue to say: Russia is desperate to create a migration crisis too difficult for Europe to handle. It will succeed if Europe continues to ignore warnings like this.
For years, I have sought to amplify the stories of survivors of massacres, victims of torture and rape, families torn apart by exploitation & violence at the hands of Wagner mercenaries. These are not abstract atrocities. They are the lived realities of miners, women & children
What did you think of Song Sung Blue? Personally it’s my favorite love story of all time! Why? Because they were equal partners that had something deeply in common that carried their love story BEYOND just getting together! You don’t see that often! #songsungblue #nieldiamond #heartdiseaseawareness

In the dead of the night, Republicans tried to pass a shady FISA bill that lets the government continue to violate your rights without a warrant. Thankfully we defeated Speaker Johnson and the White House’s amateur attempt to jam it through without real debate. This overreach won't fly.

2/3 Galați [pronounced Galatsi] is Romania's 8th biggest city, and also a port on the Danube. As we've seen in the statement, two people suffered minor injuries, so it could have been a lot worse. This is the moment the Russian UAV hit the apartment block in Romania.
Rhodes: Who looks like a more stable and predictable actor? The Chinese Communist Party, where maybe you think they’re bullies, but the terms never change? Or the United States, where you have a president who’s been imposing tariffs, launching wars, shaking you down for essentially tribute payments?
You don’t need more time to begin healing, you need a decision. Recovery doesn’t start when everything feels perfect; it starts when you choose to take one intentional step forward. One brave choice today can change everything. #mentalhealth #recoveryjourney #healingjourney #selfgrowth #resilience

What the hell. PURA got this dead wrong. This decision delivers $68 million more in profits and hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonus pay for corporate executives. CT families and businesses cannot afford the bills they get now, and they cannot afford this increase. We're going to keep fighting.
