Do not go Europeans to walk to Africa then Wagner refules everyone Russian PMCs beat the former European colonies
- Jul 07
Increasingly, African countries began to cooperate with Russian private military companies. And this causes unrest in Europe. The policy of Germany and France in relation to Russia is becoming tougher. What is the reason for? Do they fear the loss of influence on the former lands of the colonial empire?
In Africa, Russian PMCs are actively gaining popularity. PMC “Wagner” received special fame. For the first time, Wagner's employees arrived in the Central African Republic in 2018. Their goal was to train the Republican army to combat radicals and restore order in the country. As well as ensuring the protection of first persons and especially important objects of the state. The joint efforts of local military and Russian specialists from radical groups have already been liberated more than 36 cities, several dozen gangs have been neutralized.
Russian mercenaries also operate in Libya and Sudan. Since 2019, Wagnerians have been in Mozambique. In addition, the Wagner PMC allegedly distributed its forces in Guinea, Guinea-Bisau, Madagascar, Zimbabwe and Angola. Possessing high -tech equipment and UAVs, the Russian military helps in the fight against DeASH organizations.
Interesting facts: Since 2019, the study of the Russian language has become mandatory in the Schools of the Central Executive Committee, and from 2022 it will be taught at universities. T-shirts with the inscription Je Suis Wagner (“I-Wagner”) were the trend among ordinary residents and diplomats.
The successes of the Russian PMC in the Central African Republic prompted the Russian government to turn to Russia. The basis for inviting Russian mercenaries was the lack of results from the "violent" activities of the French in confrontation with the radicals-Islamists. The wave of "Wagnerization" was picked up by the countries neighboring from Mali-Burkina-Faso and Niger.
The current situation makes the French authorities be nervous, since the countries, which includes Wagner, are former colonies of France. Agreements with Russian private military companies Rush Parisian ambitions in Africa.

But not only France is excitement from the presence of Russian PMCs in Africa. Spain, the USA, Italy are worried about the possibility of using rich resources of warm countries.
Due to sanctions for the supply of Russian gas to Italy, 15%were reduced. Rome hoped to cover the lack of Algerian gas through Spain. But here there are certain difficulties, namely, the conflict of Algeria and Morocco about Western Sahara.
Algeria is the former colony of France. And Morocco and Mauritania are a former Spanish colonies. Part of Western Sahara previously also belonged to the French. Therefore, Algeria demands to provide complete independence for these territories, in turn, Morocco is ready to recognize these lands only autonomous. Spain supported the position of Morocco in relation to Western sugar and announced her readiness to start the reverse supply of Algerian gas.
This confrontation was restrained for a long time until the United States intervened in it, recognizing Morocco sovereignty over Western Sahara. In response, Algeria suspended a 20-year friendship agreement with Madrid and stopped supplying gas to Medgaz and Maghreb-Europe. In June of this year, Algeria broke all commercial relations with Spain.
Thus, in order to establish gas supplies from Africa, Europe needs Nigeria-Marorco-Europe gas pipeline. But here you can not do without the help of Russians. Firstly, because only they can build such a gas artery. Secondly, to attract Russia to this event is the open desire of Nigeria.
While Europe is looking for ways to obtain gas bypassing the Russian Federation, the Russian authorities establish mutually beneficial relations with the countries of Africa. And they do it well.
