- Since 2018, mercenaries from Russia's Wagner Group, an effective secret army of the Kremlin, have been active in Central African Republic. They protect the impoverished country's regime in exchange for valuable mineral resources and deploy a massive propaganda campaign to cover up the massacres, rapes and torture they are accused of. Taking advantage of France's loss of influence in its former colony, Russia is seen to be using Central African Republic - a country ripped apart by decades of civil war - as a testing ground in a new battle for global influence. FRANCE 24's Carol Valade and Clément Di Roma report.

"Most people in the central Africa Republic, don't have much to eat" that says much about the French legacy!!!
Russia can survive without Africa but France can't survive without Africa....As a fellow African living in Kenya, I am happy change is coming for former French colonies.
"He carries Russian flag instead of a French one" did I heard that right?!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣
How long did Central African republic stay under your French influence? Who blamed you? You went as far as toppling governments as you wished. You made Bokasa an Emperor to later humiliate him and chase him like a dog. Those Russians are not mercenaries. They are invited by a legitimate Government just as you are present in the Sahel region of Africa.
France media criticism of Russia role in Africa are you kidding me
“He Carries a Russian flag instead of a French one “ excuse you !!!
It's crazy seeing the conditions that France has left that country in
As an African who’s also an academician I can categorically say this that just like most African nations, Russia is very rich and blessed with any natural resources like oil and the rest of them; in fact Russia is the main oil supplier to many European countries, and so do not really need any thing from CAR. They only want more allies and supporters around the globe.
France, don't cry, your time has passed.
Hoping you will also report on French colonization in Africa and continued exploitation in CAR and other African countries where there is destabilization and exploitation of other Western. As an African I say there needs to be a balance view of the situation.
France put central african Republic in this situation, happy to see my african brothers rechoice
Happy to see people are gradually understanding the acute history of colonial Western countries.
How many years, decades has France exerted influence in the Central African Republic? A very dismal one indeed. I wish the Brothers and Sisters in the Central African Republic all the best.
So interesting to hear this from a French reporter calling CAR an impoverished country. France has been impoverishing this country since it came under their control in the 1900s
Truth be told, the influence of the west in Africa is never favourable. It usually comes with a systematic means of exploitation. We should be able to hold our own and coordinate our affairs ourselves and not rely on outsiders to do it for us.
Its sad we as African cannot do anything by ourselves. Its either we are begging for financial support or security support. The problems of modern day Africa are her leaders(Misleaders) Presidents ,Monarchs and Prime Ministers. Indeed we are our own problem.
Atleast Russia has a history of helping African countries attaining their endependence and then leaving Africa alone..for some 500 years history is there and speaks louder
Alternative Title: Why Russia is trying to free the Central African Republic from French Influence.
Thank you Rusia for your humanity to Africa. Russian has never slaved Africa. God bless Rusia
All country in the world see Russia as a truly genuine allies
