I’ve spent years uncovering and documenting massacres and human rights abuses, including rape and torture, by Russian paramilitaries in West and Central Africa. This is what it means to do one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs in the world.

For the past seven years, I’ve been documenting the human rights abuses committed by Russian paramilitaries. These mercenaries have left a trail of massacres, rape & torture across Africa, exploiting vulnerable communities for gold & power. They tried to silence me but I survived

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.

Russian paramilitaries have abused men, women and children, and slaughtered hundreds of civilians in the Central African Republic. I’ve spent the last six years documenting these atrocities.

I’ve investigated and reported dozen of atrocities, including rape and torture of women and children, by Russian paramilitaries in Africa. I’m sad that not many people get to hear about these crimes. We need to get everyone to know about them.

Russia’s Wagner Group announced today that it has completed its mission and would be withdrawing from Mali, after operating in the West African Republic for over 3.5 years, since at least late 2021. Wagner operations in Mali and across Western and Central Africa will be taken over by the Africa Corps, a paramilitary organization known for human rights abuses and war crimes which is aligned directly with the Russian Government.
