Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin seems to have appeared in his first video address since leading an abortive mutiny against the Russian military in June where he claimed to be in Africa and spoke about “making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even freer.”
Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin says he is in Africa “making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even freer,” in a video circulating on pro-Russian military blogs Monday. In the clip, Prigozhin is seen holding a rifle in a desert area while wearing camouflage. Behind him, in the distance, is a truck and two other men in camouflage. The warlord says “the temperature is plus 50 [degrees Celsius],” and that Wagner is conducting reconnaissance and search operations.
In Sudan, Wagner supplied the militia battling Sudan’s army and there is speculation Prigozhin may sense opportunities in Niger after a recent military coup there threatened to spark a major regional crisis. Prigozhin has previously hinted that Wagner might be ready to offer its services in the West African country. “What happened in Niger has been brewing for years,” he said in a long Telegram audio message last month.
