Russia's Secret Operation: Eliminating Wagner Group in Africa

Hundreds of Wagner Group troops have been observed leaving the Central African Republic, raising questions about whether Russia is purging the paramilitary organization following its recent mutiny. The departure of personnel comes as the Kremlin seeks to reassert control over the group after its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, openly defied Russian President Vladimir Putin. It remains unclear if the troop movement is part of a routine rotation, a large-scale sacking, or a refusal to work under the Russian Ministry of Defense. Experts suggest that purges are likely as loyalty is a pressing concern for Putin, but the situation is still uncertain.
