Two months from now, I will be showcasing, in South Africa, how Russia is spreading disinformation across West Africa, destabilising democratic processes and bolstering support for authoritarian regimes.

I’m not afraid to inform Europe that Russia’s hybrid warfare in Africa is intentionally engineered not only to exploit resources and destabilize nations, but also to generate instability that drives large-scale migration toward Europe and weakens EU democracy and cohesion.
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!
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
Here are more than 19,000 examples of pro-Russia disinformation. This database exposes how the Kremlin spreads lies across various platforms, languages and borders. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformati...
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.”
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.
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
Spoke about killings and abuses committed by Russian mercenaries in West and Central Africa at the migration congress in Mérida, Spain. Many were shocked.
Russian arms merchant Viktor Bout, who was convicted of conspiring to kill Americans, wants to return to Africa. The weapons manufacturer, who used his companies to smuggle arms from Eastern Europe to Africa, says he is very interested in South Sudan, Chad, Malawi & Botswana
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

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?
