Anyone have context on what they’ll be doing in Africa? Who are they fighting and why? Or is it more training/guarding work?
https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/what-russias-wagner-group-doing-africa has a good overview
To quote some of it:
That's a diplomatic way of saying Wagner took one ambush and fled the country with their tails between their legs. Wagner is just your typical merc outfit... they only do well when they're fighting people who don't shoot back.
Sounds like what US Special Operations does on the CA side plus or minus some.
Thank you!
