This Nigerian went to Moscow hoping to find work as a migrant laborer, but instead signed a Russian military contract—without knowing the language—and was sent to fight in Ukraine, where he was captured. He claims he only grasped that he had become a soldier during his deployment

Russia is clearly seeking Cameroonian support — and fighters — for its war on Ukraine
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
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
The Wagner Group’s atrocities are not just an African problem; they are a global crisis. The gold extracted through forced labor funds Russia’s war in Ukraine. The disinformation they spread undermines democratic institutions worldwide. Their impunity emboldens other mercenaries to operate unchecked
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.
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.
Last night, the city of Esslingen honored me with the prestigious Theodor Haecker Prize for “extraordinary courage and journalistic integrity” that “has brought to light the influence and crimes of the Russian mercenary group Wagner, in the Central African Republic and in Mali.”
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."
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.

Avec Mago on s’est concentrés sur une idée assez simple : modifier des vidéos En 2022 (time flies) on appelait ça le video to video, aujourd’hui on parle plutôt de modify video ou de restyling, voire de style transfer (alors que c'est un sujet plus précis)
So, the first question was 🤔🤔 and the 2nd question is 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ the answers are 100% spot on 👏👏👏 Why, do western media anchors ask such stupid questions? Even more frustrating to a highly intelligent, educated man, to explain basic concepts to the dumbest reporters on the entire planet. Watch this ⬇️
Between 18–20 May 1944, #Stalin deported nearly 200,000 Crimean #Tatars from #Crimea, forcing entire families into freight wagons and sending them thousands of kilometers away, mainly to Uzbekistan. Today, #Russia again seeks to erase Crimea’s identity through occupation, repression, and propaganda.
