Putin Asks Central African Republic to Replace Wagner with Africa Corps | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Russia is actively working to replace its private military group, the Wagner Group, with the state-controlled Africa Corps across the continent. After Mali, Moscow has now asked the Central African Republic to replace the Wagner group of mercenaries with the Africa Corps, which is under the direct control of the Russian defence ministry. This transition is driven by Russia’s desire to exert more direct control over its military operations following a 2023 mutiny led by Wagner's former head, Yevgeny Prigozhin. This strategic pivot highlights Russia's ongoing effort to solidify its security partnerships and maintain its powerful presence in Africa. Watch this video to know more.
