Russia Officially Deploys Troops To Burkina Faso

- On Jan. 24 2024, Russia’s newly formed Africa Corps published the first images of a deployment to Burkina Faso on its Telegram channel. According to a statement, this Russian contingent of 100 people was deployed to ensure the safety of the country’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré, and the Burkinabe people from terrorist attacks.
The deployment to Burkina Faso has fueled intense speculation on the restructuring of the Russian private military company Wagner Group’s operations in Africa since the death of its founders, Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, in a plane crash in August 2023.
From the Central African Republic (CAR) to Libya, through Mali and Sudan, Russia has been consistently gaining ground across Africa over the past decade. Moscow owes its successes on the continent in large part to one man, the late Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led the notorious Wagner Group.

Since when mercenaires are not dangerous😂😂
Any armed coalition of males is dangerous. The question is, to whom?
You're naive
@@Africanman341 of course..ready to fight for a certain amount of money...never to be trusted🥴🥴🥴😂😂😂
Thank you for making and sharing this. I am looking forward to sharing this outstanding presentation with friends. I am also commenting to help your channel with the algorithm.
Thanks Tatenda, we really appreciate your channel as there is so few channels that focus on Africa
I make same video like Tatenda
@@AfricanDive thanks, I just subscribed to your channel
@@AfricanDiveI'll support you
@@AfricanDivebut there is enough news about Africa that you should make something different so we can enjoy all the news of Africa
Wagner is like Metal Gear Solid 5. Snake is unalive, but someone like Ocelot is running the show
"Africa Corp". The irony would be hilarious if it wasn't so serious.
It's Corps..the narrator just has a brokenEnglish accent.
@MuantanamoMobile it's ironic because the Nazis that occupied Africa in WW2 were called Afrika Korps
Relying on mercanaries to protect your nation lol. The method of payment seems to be in return for giving them national resources. In getting rid of Western imperialists we have embraced uncritically imperialists from the East who had colonies as far back as 1991. We havent learnt.
Russia has never colonized Afrika. The Sahel Alliance prefers to move forward with Russian assistance than to remain under Francafrique, to their detriment.
It is their right to move forward how they choose.
Just as it is the right of others to remain in what ever chains they choose.
The continent will never be a unitary state..
@BonsuBigWhale 😂😂 so not colonising Africa is supposed to mean what? They too are imperialists, USSR only ended in 1991. The Sahel states can align with whoever they want but please spare us the whole "fighting imperialism " nonsense. Wagner extracts resources at no benefit to the locals just like the French. But that's what they so let em have it.
@@Tripleexelnot colonizing Afrika means just that.
And being an obstacle to further neocolonial exploitation is even better.
Yes the Sahel Alliance and other countries are free to align with whomever they choose.
It is not as if we see any of them making noise or regretting their contracting to date.
To each their own. But as long as the Globalist and neocolonial entities that were expelled stay out, those countries will deal with the risks and consequences as they see fit.
Aaight??
@@BonsuBigWhale This isn't the first positive experience, it stretches over 400 years of good vibes fromRussia. Case in point, Peter-the-Great's, own adopted 100% AfricanSon. Chief Engineer, General-in-Chief Abram Petrovich Gannibal.
You are correct they just want your resources. They are not there to help the people. Sad
You explain things so well and give so much context. Thank you
Good video i always look forward to notification from your channel
Thank you
When are we going to follow western media and think that is true.
LOVE itttt❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ do for senegal 🇸🇳 also with dictator macky sall and macron and leader loved opposant ousmane sonko who was put into jail by macky sall
Love this channel

Thank you so much Tatenda for making sense of this Russian onslaught back in Africa snd the Wagner Group connection. Truly, your content is so necesssry
Thx. But, could u please produce a video on Cameroon
He made at least one about Paul Biya. Check his channel.
Oh Africa 😢
When Africa, when? Smh
Burikino faso is the black gold for every one.
wow
Dont you mean Contractors
Well... that is over now that Prigozin is out of the way. Much more direct control, imo 2:44
Is not like Burkina fasso was having a great Time is it?
Russia never took part in the Colonial plunder of Africa, in fact much of the liberation of African countries from colonialism was supported by the former Soviet Union and even Cuba, how did Africa helped cuba when they needed it?
Ultimately african countries need to take their matters into their own hands and decide who are their friends
The problem is many of those movements got co-opted, by some likeFrance's De Gaulle, where they picked out theirPuppets and recognized them as the offcial "resistance" independence leaders, the populations didn't have a clue...they just saw a few results and thought it was the real deal. unfortunately before the entire process of decolonization completed our greatest allies theUSSR collapsed.
And what has communism done for you? There’s an easier way to be free, but y’all are not ready to take the steps
"Russia never took part in the Colonial plunder of Africa," This doesn't make it really better as we live in the present, not the past. I wonder: do these nations really believe in any form of benevolence from Russia? Because if yes, then Russia will become these nations new demise.
Waiting for your next video on the rise of French & USA military bases all over Africa.
This whataboutism is silly
He will never expose his masters.
@@moderatecanuckthe word "whataboutism" is a term coined by people who don't believe in justice for all
The 🇺🇸 US and 🇫🇷 France are moving their bases in 🌍 Africa to eastern Europe to better defend eastern European countries like 🇫🇮 Finland, 🇵🇱 Poland and the 🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪 Baltic Countries from Russia.
While the USA and France are leaving Africa, 🇷🇺 Russia is moving into 🇲🇱 Mali, 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso and 🇳🇪 Niger.
Why does this communique ignore France's failures in the Sahel and their involvement in the insurgency which Mali in particular reported to the UNSC which has to-date ignored the situation. This is now the case in the Congo where the citizenry are demanding that the US, France and the UK desist from destroying their nation with the sponsored violence over the years.
Chief Engineer, General Abram Petrovich Gannibal, there is no comparison of similar or even comparable treatment of our ancestors in the so-calledWest. I speak as one who has lived here in Norway for close to 30 years, and was inspired by Gannibal to also become an engineer.
You said nothing substantial here. How about not letting either the West or East have a say in your state and continent?
Blackwater....same same but different...noh?!
Very proud to see african unbiaised news and information channel. Keep it going !
do you have a link to that wagner propaganda video?
A enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Indeed.
Dumb logic, no honour among criminals

Foolish
You may speak ill about Rússia . We know what they mean to us.

You are very ignorant. You are too trusting of Russia. Russia is no different from the U.S.

So you are the smart one then
Russia presents an opportunity for them, no one from the outside can make your country sovereign and Traore is a bit early but he does seem like a patriot let's hope they don't kill him like they killed Sankara
Russia's history in supporting African resistance is not new. They were there for the Ethiopian resistance. They were there supporting black SA against the apartheid regime when the US and it's allies supported the apartheid regime in SA @@Raheem-Braveheart BS. R
@@bizhope007 How many South African residents did Russia allow to get Asylum Refugee Visas during Aparteid? Why didn't Russia offer a home to Nelson Mandela to protect him? All Russia did was provide weapons but did not join the fight. I'm calling out your BS. Russians don't like black people. The country is majority white.
I don't know much about this cuz it's in Africa me talking into Africans online for the last couple years engaging they want the Russians there they definitely don't want the French there I'm American I don't know I'm just giving you my opinion that's who they want their
Facts God bless you 💯
It took you 12:57 seconds to make a video about Wagner
Now do a video about black water
From the 90's in Somalia Irak and everywhere else peace 🕊️
This is not true. The President of Burkina Faso said it best. There are no Russian mercenaries in Burkina Faso. They are Russia Military personnel training the soldiers just like the Turks, the Europeans and Chinese
What country are you from? How much do you know of the looting and terror going on in Africa until now? Shame on you.
The security relation between Russia and Africa must be handled at official government level not by private companies.
Very biased, negative, terrible one sided report. All lies about Wagner and its mission in Africa
Great video our continent will always be weak because it rely on super powers not African Union
AfricanUnion is mostly funded by theEU, look at their funding. So basically do their biding.
The AU was created by the colonial masters to sell colonial democracy to Africa. It's job is to make sure the colonial masters contracts and treaties are kept in place. The disgraceful AU has never come out against France's continue colonial control and looting of Africa . It does nothing against people rigging elections and changing constitutions to stay in power. As long as those rulers support the colonial masters status quo. It will only cry when a colonial looter is kicked out of Africa. It has no use at this time. What is its purpose if not to kick France and other abusers and looters out of Africa. Where has it fought to free Africa from the colonial deals to loot African nations. WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE?
It's because they are dangerous is why they are being deployed
Talk about the western PMCs that have a longer history on the continent. You’ll have more material to work with
Which PMC?
blackwater is one
@@hisvin- why are you on this channel anyway devil?

They are both bad for africa.
All African countries need to hire Engineers professors

I usually enjoy the quality reports of African Biographics. Its disappointing that this report is entirely based & even word for word lifted from Western AFP, Reuters, CNN & BBC propaganda hit pieces I have actually read.
We all know why nato wants Niger Morocco Kenya Somalian ports and pipelines
We all know why Russia wants'em. Same reason
If it were not for Russian Security services the Sahel Alliance and other afrikan locations subject to Francafrique policies would be dealing with the French Mercenary counterparts that have brought real and a tual harm to Afrikans for decades: legionnaire etranger..
I found this body of work entertaining and informative. However I am concerned about getting information from france /UN or nato and saying these are facts.. Russian Mercenaries Replacing french soldiers Am I The Only One Believe Reporting What the french /UN or NATO saying As Conflict Of Interest?As I Said I Find This To Be Entertaining/Laughable.. I Am Awaiting The Video Of All The french mercenaries and their allies and the crimes UN and NATO troops have committed on The African Continent.. Guessing That Is Only Wishful Thinking .. I Am Here Wondering If This Channel Is A Propaganda Channel For Certain Countries?
Propaganda 😤
Thanks, bro. I always appreciate your videos. But on this, I don’t agree with you that Wagner is a gang. As you mentioned several times on this set, you’re using words typical of mainstream media,talking about Russia wanting Sudan's gold to fund its war in Ukraine. Come on, man, please look into the naval sea port that Russia signed a deal on wanting to build in Sudan. The way you talk about Wagner is a destabilizing factor in this nations. We all grew up in the 90s with central Africa on fire, Burundi, and the central Congo. Rwanda with French, Norwegian, and Belgian forces being the main actors in this area; talk about Libya; we know who screwed that up with Toureq forces from Mauritania, Nigeria, and Chad; talk about Burkina Faso; we all know who benefited from the chaos there; this kid inherited a country on fire; he is doing his best to stabilize that country that multiple leaders could not. I am not naive; I know what Wagner is, but stop pushing the narrative that Wagner is benefiting from the chaos in Africa financially; it’s about influence. Maybe in the future,for Sudan, please blame Bashir for creating a private army.
Russia has become a white colonial power in Africa. Tragic times
Russia as colonist is a BS projection. It is not based on fact or even history.
When has Russia conspired against Afrika? Conspired with whom?
Please present the historical examples of Russia committing any of the list of crimes against any Afrikan nation?
Extortion ? Exploitation.? Subversion? Fraud? Subjugation? Medical experimentation? Colonization? Neocolonization? Slavery?
'In addition to the lack of crimes against Afrikan nations, Russia has also supported Afrikan nations consistently over the decades. It has always voted for or abstained Afrikan initiatives alongside Afrikans in international forums such as UN.
Never against.
Russia recently wrote off tens of billions in foreign debt for Afrikan countries. It also has extended an offer of assistance and.consultation with regards to:
1,. Refineries for the processing of the raw materials from energy, mineral and agricultural resources towards a diversity of market ready finished products and
2. Development of nuclear capabilities for energy and defense needs.
Would be colonizers do not enable their would be subjects in such a manner. They rather keep them broke, indebted, dependent, defenseless and underdeveloped.
No need to project the west that has always presented as an enemy onto Russia, which has never done so..

Russia has no colonial history in Afrika.
They have written off over 20 billion in Afrikan debt.
They have signed contracts to build refineries to process the energy, mineral and agricultural resources into value added finished products for market.
They have presented offer of assistance and consultation with the development of nuclear capabilities for energy and defense needs.
Would be colonizers do not enable their would be subjects in such a manner.
They rather keep them broke, dependent and defenseless.
So the decision by those countries that chose to contract their services was astute and of benefit to their emancipation initiatives.
Russia has proven to be a better friend and ally than any of the Afrikan regional neighbors; who rather insist on assisting the Globalist and neocolonial enemies that have been expelled!!
Some countries prefer to stand alone than to lay down together in chains..
@@BonsuBigWhale Russian mercenaries are just protecting the local rulers... and then they get paid in natural resources. Just wait a few years and you will see the true face of the Russians.

Russia is our friend
For the West Wagner are mercenaries, but here in Africa, Wagner are heros.
Sad
Why you called the group notorious? Can you factually prove your claim? What are you saying about those groups that have been in Africa for years? Your reporting is not grounded in facts and bias. You are one of those… Shame on you.
Ukraine was hostile tords Russia way before Russia considered annexing Ukraine
Nonsense. We love wagner in Africa 🇿🇦❤️
Traitor to your people.
Remember, if the real and actual traitors to Afrikans, the stooge agents amongst the leadership, had actually chosen to defend the emancipation initiatives of those sahel alliance countries, they would not have had to contract the Russian Security services in the first place.
These differences are amongst the many reasons why there are no unity prospects and regional blocs such as ECOWAS face dissolution..l
@@BonsuBigWhale
Truth be told, there is a Rich history of assassination of the African leaders and most of it was sponsored by their former colonialists
The only thing that you said that was right is nonsense. Russia only want your resources.
@@BonsuBigWhale well, might as well throw the African Union away based on what you said
