Russian mercenaries at '%Wagner: Attention to Ukraine, but Russia is also deeply busy in this African country

Even though the African region is known for the turbulent and conflicting turmoil, taking power from the army in Burkina Faso remains intriguing.

In the midst of the burdened humanitarian and security situation, the mountain's neighbouring state decision, which is also led by the military, to invite fighters from the group “Wagner” is widely seen as the paramilitary liaison of the Russian-related mercenaries. This situation is bothering Western states.

Sandogo Damiba of Burkina Faso is only the last military leader to take power by violence as a result of supporters who beat the Russian flag”. Development took place less than a year after the second and third of the last 10 years.

With the tense situation on the Ukrainian border, the increase in Russia's presence in Africa may also be a case worthy of the attention of Western states.

Mali's decision to approach Russia is already only causing panic between capitalist states and its European partners, including the United Kingdom and France.

France, the former colonial state in this region, is facing the task of restoring its authority to this part of the continent. But it is facing Russia's influence in Africa. The regime has been transformed into a country where the anti-French initiative is growing, especially in social networks, while popular support for Russia has marked growth.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin accuses the West of straining the situation, and since it has shown its support for the mountain, Moscow denies having anything to do with the “Wagner”

The mountain's stance is that the withdrawal of 5,000 French troops from the African state has left a lot of void. While Russia is studying every opportunity to empower its presence in Africa.

Russia's investments and trade in Africa are not very present, but they are moving towards empowerment. The agreement to build a naval base in Sudan has empowered Moscow's military presence on the African continent.

Ovid 19 is also seen as an opportunity from Russia to increase its presence in Africa. Last year, Moscow had donated more than 300 million Sputnik vaccines as a donation to the African Nations. Many African countries had accepted the vaccine, which helped to spread Russian influence. (The Guardian/transfer with cuts: Periscope)
