Russian disinformation operations flooded Germany with fake videos, AI deepfakes and migrant panic ahead of the 2025 federal election, aiming to sow chaos, boost pro-Kremlin voices & weaken support for Ukraine. Europe must wake up. The Kremlin is playing the long game.

Russia and Belarus have manipulated illegal migration, using it as a hybrid weapon against Poland and Western nations.
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."
Russian forces posted this video showing a Black fighter used as a human bomb.
In Kenya, families protested in Nairobi demanding the government bring home their sons duped into joining Russia's army for the Ukraine war. Many were lured with promises of decent jobs as drivers or guards, but ended up on the front lines. Over 1,000 Kenyans have been recruited
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 was proudly accompanied by Lord Mayor Matthias Klopfer, Deputy Mayor Yalcin Bayraktar, members of the German Parliament, Sebastian Schäfer and David Preisendanz and member of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg, Stephan Köthe in signing the city of Esslingen’s golden book
Russia has a plan to cause trouble in Europe using trolls from Africa. They are setting up troll farms in countries like Ghana & Nigeria. These trolls spread lies in the media, aimed at creating division, fear, and chaos so they can weaken Europe’s power. The EU must wake up.
Russian arms merchant Viktor Bout, who was convicted of conspiring to kill Americans, wants to return to Africa. The weapons manufacturer, who used his companies to smuggle arms from Eastern Europe to Africa, says he is very interested in South Sudan, Chad, Malawi & Botswana
I documented villages where civilians disappeared after encounters with Russian fighters. I spoke with kids who described torture. I walked through areas where people lived in fear. What I saw convinced me that Africa was becoming the stage for a new kind of geopolitical struggle
Europe can't afford to wait. Russian disinfo in Africa directly threatens Europe. Kremlin networks flood platforms with fake successes of juntas & stories painting Europe as the enemy. These campaigns open doors for Moscow's resource grabs & migration leverage against Europe

Sadly and predictably, Iran appears to have achieved escalation dominance by closing the Strait of Hormuz. I asked what plans the government have for a post-conflict region where Iran retains the upper hand because it can dictate global energy prices and continue to threaten gulf nations.

In my head, the 80s were just two decades ago. The neon lights, the wood-paneled consoles, the simplicity of it all - it feels so close. But 20 years ago was the mid-2000s. We’ve traded floppy disks for the cloud, but I’m still holding on. I may be in 2026, but my heart is set to "Retro."
