More from Philip Obaji Jr.

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.

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.

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

Russia has recruited thousands of young foreigners into its army to fight in Ukraine amid severe manpower shortages caused by over a million Russian troops killed or wounded. Many signed up to support their families but were misled into believing they would not see active combat

In difficult times, community can be a lifeline. As we prepare for the fight ahead, consider the communities you are a part of: • How can you strengthen your communities? • Do you feel supported by your communities? • If not, where else could you find community to get the support you need?
