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.
Glad to speak on Russian disinformation and human rights atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries at an event hosted in Geneva, Switzerland, by the Missions of Latvia, Estonia and Poland to the United Nations.
The warmth, love, and incredible hospitality of the Ukrainian people touched my heart deeply. Even in the toughest of times, they welcomed me, an African journalist, like family. Thank you for your kindness and resilience. Героям слава! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🙏
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.
Fired up and ready to speak in Kampala, Uganda, about crimes, including rape and torture, committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed across Africa.
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.
Fired up and ready to speak about atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa
