From Africa to Eastern Europe, I’ve listened to many people talk about the brutality of Russian fighters who’ve committed human rights abuses in these areas. It doesn’t matter where it happens, the stories are similar. We can’t be quiet. We betray our friends when we stay silent.

Young people across the world must join the fight against Russian disinformation because it is a hybrid war weapon flooding our feeds with lies, from fueling coups in Africa to destabilizing democracies in Europe, all to exploit our continent, divide us & weaken the global order

Across West Africa, Russian-backed entities are spreading disinformation through media outlets & social platforms, encouraging people to embark on perilous journeys to Europe with false promises of opportunity and prosperity. These campaigns are designed to destabilize.

Still one of the greatest honors of my life: Czech Republic’s Homo Homini Award for "detailed mapping of more than a hundred cases of gross human rights violations of defenceless citizens by paramilitary units” from Russia.

I came to Amsterdam with a goal: to tell Europe about Russian operations in Africa; how they are aimed at creating a migration crisis in Europe and undermine democracy in the EU. I came to ask for partnership with Africa to combat this. I am here for seriousness not complacency.

Russian mercenaries have massacred villagers, raped girls &amp; turned farms into torture sites. Telling these stories matters. It exposes the truth, holds killers accountable &amp; stops Africa from becoming a forgotten theater of Russian brutality. Silence enables more atrocities.

Russia is desperate to damage Europe, and I know this because I’ve spent years investigating its plans. Russia's operations in Africa are hybrid warfare aimed at destabilizing Europe: fueling instability, driving migration flows northward, and weakening EU unity. Europe must act

Russia is engineering a migration crisis for Europe, spreading disinformation across West Africa to push desperate people toward deadly Mediterranean routes, while private militias control smuggling networks in Libya. The aim is to destabilize &amp; divide the EU. Time to counter it.

What Russia is doing in Africa is awful and disgraceful. They are plundering Africa’s gold and diamond resources and enslaving many people.

Africa is becoming Russia’s launchpad for disinformation targeting Europe. From troll farms &amp; ghost reporters in West &amp; Central Africa to influence ops hitting European elections, Moscow is weaponizing the continent to sow chaos. I’ve seen the networks up close. We must push back

Russian paramilitaries have turned Central African Republic into a hellscape of atrocities since 2018—all to seize gold &amp; diamond mines in order to fund Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Fired up and ready to speak about atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa at the Trust Conference in London.

Central Africans say that Russian soldiers are raping, murdering, and torturing civilians.

Dear Europe — Russia is planning a massive, multi-layered crisis designed to shatter your stability, including orchestrated migration surges &amp; coordinated disinformation to fracture NATO &amp; EU unity. Putin is not bluffing. He’s preparing the ground while the West debates. Wake up!

Kenya Passes Law to Block Russian Mercenary Recruitment Kenya has enacted new legislation to stop its citizens from being recruited into foreign wars, after reports emerged that over 500 Kenyans have already been enlisted by Russia to fight in Ukraine.

With sadness, I spoke about massacre, rape and human rights atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed in West and Central Africa at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway. It was shocking to so many.

I addressed Members of the European Parliament from the committees on external affairs, development cooperation &amp; security. I made it clear that Russia is using Africa as a launchpad for disinformation targeting Europe and that the EU must act fast to deal with the ugly situation

Russia is extending its reach across Africa not only through diplomacy and military cooperation, but also through religion. Since 2022, the Russian Orthodox Church reports that more than 200 African parishes have switched their allegiance to Moscow.

Deceived into joining the Russian military by a fake job offer, Sierra Leonean POW Richard Kanu still prefers Russia to his homeland. He says he’d “100% choose to go back to Russia.” Ukraine says Russia has recruited nearly 3,000 African fighters, with over 300 killed.

The African men transported to Ukraine to fight Russia’s war

I exposed how Russia helped orchestrate the coup that truncated democracy in Mali. I revealed the Russian-linked reason behind the coup that ended civilian rule in Burkina Faso. I wasn’t wrong then, and I’m not wrong when I say Russia is eyeing more African nations.

I know my job as journalist investigating Russian atrocities is risky and my life will always be at risk. But the implication of Russia’s actions in Africa and beyond is so huge that I really feel I have no choice but to do what I do.
