In recent years Russia has expanded its military footprint across Africa with its state-led Wagner mercenary group. The group runs an “Africa Corps” contracted out to various governments. Wagner troops have been accused of significant human rights abuses in Congo and Mali.

Recently, a Tuareg rebel group fighting Wagner in Mali released video showing dozens of burnt out vehicles and corpses of Wagner fighters. The rebels also appeared to take several prisoners, showing Wagner men in their custody wearing Tuareg dress.
