The number of African migrants in Russia is rising sharply. Relatives from Cameroon report the deaths of their loved ones who signed contracts for work in Russia and ended up in the war in Ukraine. Some went into it knowingly, while others expected civilian jobs with high salaries.

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.
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
Russia recruits teens for drone production in same factory where African women were forced to assemble Iranian made drones
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
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
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
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.
Russia is engineering a migration crisis for Europe, spreading disinformation across West Africa to push desperate people toward deadly Mediterranean routes, while private militias control smuggling networks in Libya. The aim is to destabilize & divide the EU. Time to counter it.
Fired up and ready to speak about atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa
Beautiful welcome to Washington Post HQ. Excited to meet some of the world’s most amazing journalists and happy to continue to uncover and document abuses committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa.

Scoliosis is more than a curve on an X-ray. Pain and progression are shaped by neuromuscular control, flexibility, recovery, and biology. Similar curves can behave very differently. The curve isn’t the whole story. 📩 Upload your X-rays for review. #ScoliSMART

Great answers from Vincent Kompany, speaking to Gabriel Clarke: "You only have two ways, the first one is to go full and the second is to retreat fully, the in-between doesn't work against that level of player, against our level of players." Same again next week? "More, even more."
