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.

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
Russian-recruited African mercenaries targeted and struck by an FPV drone during an ambush in Ukraine.
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.
These are voices of Russian soldiers confessing to their families about crimes they’ve committed in Ukraine. It’s similar to confessions from Wagner paramilitaries who’ve committed numerous human rights abuses in Africa
I’m here to tell friends about atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed across Africa
Fired up and ready to speak in Kampala, Uganda, about crimes, including rape and torture, committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed across Africa.
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
Across West Africa, Russian-backed entities are spreading disinformation through media outlets & social platforms, encouraging people to embark on perilous journeys to Europe with false promises of opportunity and prosperity. These campaigns are designed to destabilize.
For years, I have sought to amplify the stories of survivors of massacres, victims of torture and rape, families torn apart by exploitation & violence at the hands of Wagner mercenaries. These are not abstract atrocities. They are the lived realities of miners, women & children
Russia is clearly seeking Cameroonian support — and fighters — for its war on Ukraine

This is amazing. Ukraine is now using low cost high altitude balloons, leveraging the natural prevailing winds from Ukraine to Russia. The balloons don't look like targets. Hovering deep into Russian territory, the drone is released and then flies to its target.

Calame is like a French take on classic SRPGs like Fire Emblem~ This SRPG mixes grid-based combat with a clever idea: rewriting reality itself during battle. Lead a rebellion against a tyrannical ruler that uses the "Calame" magic which turns written word and public belief into reality~
