"In February, the
Kyiv Post released a video showing Ukrainian special forces
interrogating Russian-speaking fighters captured in Sudan. The prisoners
identified themselves as members of the Wagner Group, the notorious mercenary
organization.
In the footage, Ukrainian special forces soldier questions one of the captives:
“Where are you from, and why did you come to Sudan?”
“We are from the Wagner private military company,” the Russian mercenary
responds. “[We came here] to overthrow the local government.”
Yes.
This is why the Kremlin has its troops in Africa. Either you overthrow the
government, trigger unrest, offer support to one side in the fight, or do
whatever the heck that is needed to make sure that people are dying, people are
fleeing and you take control of the restive region.
Africa is a treasure trove of natural resources, playing a crucial role in
global markets. The continent is rich in minerals, including gold, diamonds,
and platinum, with South Africa, Ghana, Botswana, and the Democratic Republic
of Congo being key producers.
It holds around 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, including critical
resources like cobalt, used in batteries, and chromium, essential for stainless
steel production. Its vast reserves of iron ore, copper, and bauxite fuel
industrial growth worldwide.
A destablized mineral rich region does sound like the kind of place you will
find the Kremlin in."
