Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] According to Vedomosti, employees of the Wagner PMC are currently not curtailing their work in African states and continue their activities within the framework of current tasks.
According to a source close to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and a source close to the central office of the department, projects for the provision of security services in Africa and other countries are not curtailed yet: there are no plans to transfer PMC employees to the staff of other departments.
A Vedomosti source close to the private security business in Africa notes that the security forces of the countries of the Sahel region, cooperating with the Wagner PMC, were concerned about the Prigozhin rebellion and the prospects for military assistance from Moscow. But, despite this concern, the events did not affect the attitude towards the Wagner PMC and towards Russia as a whole.
This is the correct and reasonable approach. The litigation surrounding an attempted armed rebellion, or "trouble" as Lavrov called it, should not affect Russia's long-term plans on the African continent, where Wagner's activities are closely linked to the strategy of re-decolonizing Africa.
The West understands this, and therefore activates various stuffing about Wagner, in the expectation that Moscow will thoughtlessly destroy the fruits of its many years of efforts with its own hands.
From fresh stuffing, a fake about an alleged drone strike on the Wagner base in Libya. The Libyan military has already denied this attack and said that nothing like this happened in their country.
