What is the Wagner Group really doing in Africa? | DW News 

Once he accepted PooTin's pardon, he lived on borrowed time.

It's your country that robs Africa.

Another Ukrainazi bot, cyanide capsule and self shot to the head

The French colonies in the Caribbean had a vote to either leave or stay colonised by France a coupla years ago. They voted to remained colonised. If Haiti was offered the chance to become a colony of France again, what would be the percentage that the yes vote would be? I would say over 90 %.

You prefer to be colonized by russian thugs? Or Chinese communists radicalists? One colonizer goes, another, much worse, comes😡

​@@winstonmaraj8029Martinique and Guadeloupe are not "colonies ". They are part of the french territory and their rsidents are regular French citizens who enjoy the same rights and follow the fans laws as the French citizens from metropolitan France.

@@ahfei6847 Nope. It's just another step up from being a colony. The French Guianese are in the same bracket and ar organising an Independence movement these daes.

Lol, you have no idea what you're talking about.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. The VAST illiterate Horde making up the WOKE idea of this thing called The Global South and it somehow being something nice is such a laugh.

Russia had no colonies, because it developed all its territory to its economic level, it had more than half of the Russian population in the empire, and even the natives ruled the Russian minority in these places. Germany is more imperialistic in Eastern Europe, because in order to enter the EU they had to sell all the banks to them, so all the money from that part of Europe is in German hands. In addition, most of the companies were bought by the Germans at a low price.

@@kosarkosar7683 FYI: Russia has 196 ethnic minority groups, all conquered people.., look up: Tatars, Yakuts, Buryats, and the list goes on..

​​@@kosarkosar7683Tell that to all the people who lived under the Russian boot for 70 years during the Soviet Union, and to the people who live under its boot right now. Russia never let the natives of its territories rule, Russia always put Russians as the new oligarchs of that region, that was literally Joseph Stalins entire strategy for ruling, and you best believe Putin is looking to do the same and has done the same in the places under the "federation". Developing your imperial territory to your economic level is something every colonizer does, and it is not an excuse for them colonizing you, why would you give them a pass over that and proceed to ignore the way they brutalize your people? You're giving Russia a free pass on well earned criticism, and then using that criticism towards someone else who doesn't have their hands in Africa, your argument is inconsistent, and you're criticizing someone somewhere else doing something entirely different, on a discussion of how Russia is inserting colonizer control in Africa under the moniker of "anti colonizer".

​@kosarkosar7683 oh yes because holodomor was the soviets helping them .... or the Prague spring put down ...they were just helping them. . Mate I'm Australian I know what a criminal is.

Lol to you

its a German Guy :D ... normal inm german Media o.O

@@factsoverfear9771 - Stay on topic. The question was not "Whom can Wagner use to deflect attention away from their active criminal activity?"

@@pluribus_unum What? Wagner is invited as mercenaries to protect Russian interests or local african interests. They do not steal anything.

@@tuff9486 - No, they most certainly do. “The Wagner Group funds its brutal operations in part by exploiting natural resources in countries like the Central African Republic and Mali. The United States will continue to target the Wagner Group's revenue streams to degrade its expansion and violence in Africa, Ukraine, and anywhere else.”

Wagner is invited and paid in Africa. Thet don't impose when not wanted. I hear the French ambassador is crying and refusing to leave Niger.n

@@tuff9486 someone hasn’t learned how Wagner gets paid

Sounds a little racist, don't you think? )

​@@Ordinarygentleman-sx8vlnobody cares anymore. Everything is racist

Europeans will ETERNALLY be racist or support racism.

@@Ordinarygentleman-sx8vlmaybe it was sarcasm?

@@second2none914 NOPE AGAIN!!!!! It was they who stopped slavery. AFRICAN leaders tried all their best to continue capturing and selling their Negroes to anyone who wanted to buy. Mauritania "officially" banned slavery in 1981!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To protect local population from being sold to dictatorships like Russia 😡

They are invited by their host nations. You should ask the host nations why they invited France and America.

​@@pjacobsen1000wegener is invited by African people

@@pjacobsen1000 And probably because they know that Russia or China's influence would be worse.

The plane explosion seems exceedingly exclipable

@@markmiiwurdz4016 the yet unexplained, but certainly explicable, aspects of the story are more like: how many of the wagner troops really did participate in the insurrection, and why would they? who in the russian military and intelligence supported them? why did they quit, or rather whose family members were taken hostage by putin's people? what purpose did the delay before killing prigozhin serve? why is there no "if you see this, I am dead" video? was it the purpose of the delay to destroy that first?

Inexplicable means unable to be explained or accounted for.

@@evanthehedgehog9825 and that's not applicable

*Africa* is a good example of the old saying *"The Few Can't Control The Many"* ... there is so many different leaders and people with influence and power that are in *Africa* that it makes it really hard for there to *NOT* be coups... it's a reason why *Central & North Africa* has been having civil wars for hundreds of years now.... when you have a bunch of different people who have small armies behind them and sometimes even large armies they get power hungry and want to have complete control over whichever country they are fighting in at the time. *Africa* has many countries and they all have different leaders that want control. Not to mention that *Africa* in the last 20 years have started to fight back against colonial rule and influence in their continent. The people of *Africa* have been being exploited for their extremely valuable resources for far too long and the people are tired of it... which is why when the people see a leader come out and say they are going to make *Africa* rich and share the wealth with all the people instead of their wealth being stolen from colonial powers while keeping the people in extreme poverty... the people and leaders of *Africa* are kicking out their controlled puppet leaders of colonial powers and are appointing their own leaders who they believe are going to fight for them and that's also why *African* countries and leaders are turning to *Russia & China* in the past 10 years to help them kick out western powers but they will most likely soon find out that *Russia & China* will do the same thing *The West* is doing to them, exploiting them for their resources and minerals.

CAR and DRC should just merge and call it Central Africa. With French as national language and Catholicism as state religion.

There is one problem in the world, it is a terrorist and a robber of the USA

Do you really know the recent history of CAR?

It’s easier to blame ‘outsiders’

I'm not exactly proud, but you do have to get out of your own way at some point

Yeah and Vladimir Putin is going to end all that....his track record seems to prove all that ... OMG.

Bro chill we weren't even alive during that time. We can't answer for that

Certainly not what Russia is doing.... Mostly they are preventing Russia from doing what they intend to do there.

Putin’ wagner pays to be influential in Africa. Local population is so desperate that really believes this gang is there to ‘help’ them? Such nearsightedness!😡

😂😂😂😂😂 let's Goooo !!!!

Liar putlerbot🤮👎🏼

you speak for yourself not Africa !!!

Liar putlerbot, sold for a couple of rubles🤮👎🏼

​@@handle-changedand u are not African

Wegner ? Is that the company that makes knives ?

They have, but russians are incredibly greedy and want more gold and diamonds, stolen from Africa😡

If UN Peacekeepers could engage, it would be different. For now they're pointless.

It is good compare to European

​@Anxiety-tvRussia is in both Europe and Asia,not just Europe.

@Anxiety-tv How many European countries can you name ? How much genocide has Finland committed in Africa, or Norway, Luxembourg or Czech Republic ?

@Anxiety-tvEuropean, though mostly Asian.

I mean what has the west really done for Africa?

You should try to go to fascist russia, you will be disillusioned instantaneously, as russia is a highly racist country😡

Yeah Putin got to you..

Pretty sure they have a few interviews about it recently. Why don't you search for them?

Hiding putlerbot, unmask yourself🤮👎🏼

Because you are countries without history and no contributions to the world

I'm an earthling and I think Wagner sucks. Ergo, everyone on earth thinks Wagner sucks.

Putlerbot, hiding behind African back🤮👎🏼

you are most likely just a russian bot

That’s how Africa falls in hands of the worst colonizers ever existed 😡

They are responsible for their insecurity, instability, and lack of development. 3rd world nations.

🤮👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Link?

Get a potato for your lies

The US presence in Africa is minimal compared to Wagner.

@@filipe5722 yet US is not welcome there, wagner was invited. Same goes for Syria !
