The power struggle between President Vladimir Putin and the Wagner Group and its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin will likely have huge implications for Africa. Wagner mercenaries are active in several African countries, including Central African Republic and Mali.
In the Central African Republic, for example, 1,890 so-called"Russian instructors" are supporting government troops in the ongoing civil war, according to the Russian ambassador. The latest reveals that"systematic efforts by Russia to undercut democracy in Africa have inhibited democratic development in two dozen African countries."that it is easy to understand what African rulers see in the mercenary group. The group's mercenaries can be deployed quickly, and the group brings sophisticated arms with it and can apply force and ruthlessly.
Wagner has been accused of atrocities, including mass murder and rape, across Africa and alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. In Libya, up to 1,200 Wagner mercenaries are believed to be fighting on the side of rebel leader Khalifa Hifter. In Mali, the pro-Russian, anti-Western military junta has also brought hundreds of Wagner fighters into the country. There, they have been accused of committing serious human rights violations.
