My colleagues and I uncovered how Russia pays media outlets in West Africa as low $80 to publish disinformation that is weakening European security and undermining democracy in Africa. Soon, Europe could face a migrant crisis & Africa could be dealing with military dictatorships.

Told Austrian TV how Russian fighters in Africa have committed atrocities while propping up juntas & how they’re weaponizing the continent as a launchpad for disinformation ops flooding Europe with lies to sow chaos and division. Africa is paying in blood. Europe in instability
With sadness, I spoke about massacre, rape and human rights atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed in West and Central Africa at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway. It was shocking to so many.
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!
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's African footholds—now in over a dozen countries—serve as testing grounds for tactics later deployed in Europe. Control over migration routes in Libya and the Sahel gives Moscow leverage to weaponize refugees, much like Belarus did on the EU's eastern border in 2021.
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.
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
Today, at the side event of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, I made it clear: Russia is desperate to damage Europe. Its operations in Africa are hybrid warfare aimed at fueling instability, driving migration flows northward & weakening EU unity. Europe must act!
These are voices of Russian soldiers confessing to their families about crimes they’ve committed in Ukraine. It’s similar to confessions from Wagner paramilitaries who’ve committed numerous human rights abuses in Africa
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

Trump is scrambling to shut down the Kennedy Center after discovering that American artists and performers won't put up with his partisan takeover and unlawful renaming. And let’s be clear: a remodeling job won't restore the Kennedy Center to what it was. A return to artistic independence will.

The fact remains: my son has never been seen in the same room as the Cutie Bomber. Also Spider-Man. Also Superman. So by the transitive property, Spider-Man is Superman—which explains why neither has done anything about the Cutie Bomber.

the old testament if a false book The New Bible Dictionary 1988 Edition,p.305 states: “A FURTHER IMPLICATION IS THAT MOSES WOULD HAVE AN EGYPTIAN EDUCATION, ONE OF THE BEST AVAILABLE IN HIS DAY.” Be that as it may, Pharaoh would never have spoken with him in the language of the slaves - hebrew!
