Wagner Mercenaries Expand Operations in Africa, Confirms Prigozhin

Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization, announced in a video that the group is shifting its focus to Africa. The video, which appeared on Wagner-affiliated Telegram channels, showed Prigozhin in a desert location, stating that Wagner is working to advance Russia's goals on the continent. The long-term fate of the group remains uncertain, as its base in Russia is shutting down and many fighters are being let go. Wagner mercenaries have been accused of war crimes in countries like Libya and Mali.
