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

Russia is recruiting students nationwide with large financial packages to join drone units in Ukraine as operators and engineers, while businesses in the central Ryazan region face government-imposed quotas to sign up employees for the army.
In Vienna, I took time to explain to diplomats, human rights campaigners, and civil society leaders how Russia’s African troll armies don’t just stir trouble locally but flood social media and diaspora channels with coordinated narratives designed to hit Europe where it hurts.
I told young people in Esslingen, Germany, how Russian paramilitaries operate in Africa. I explained how these mercenaries have massacred hundreds of civilians, raped dozens of girls and tortured so many boys. I warned that if we overlooked this, someday it could happen in Europe
A foreign mercenary gives shocking details of how Russian forces abandon fallen and injured soldiers on the battlefield. This is a lesson for those Africans on the verge of joining Russia’s war on Ukraine
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.
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
I’m proud to have spent time with some of America’s finest journalism students, who got to find out how I spent the last seven years uncovering and documenting over 100 atrocities, including rape and torture, by Russian paramilitaries deployed in Africa, at great personal risk
Proud to spend time with some of the brightest students in Esslingen, Germany, and with the city’s Lord Mayor Matthias Klopfer. Spoke about how Russian disinformation targets democracy in Germany and parts of Europe by amplifying societal divisions on issues like migration and energy
