It has just been revealed that Russian forces repeatedly used drones to attack civilians in Ukraine. Sadly, this isn’t new. I’m told by contacts in the Central African Republic that Russian mercenaries used drones to target miners in the northeast region. https://t.co/23645XHLZh

RT @Billbrowder: Great to meet you too @PhilipObaji. You’re doing important work to expose Putin’s activities in Africa

Glad to have met & shared my experiences as a journalist exposing Russian atrocities in Africa with Sir @Billbrowder, who has been leading a campaign to expose corruption in Russia and lobbied for Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act, a law to punish Russian human rights violators. https://t.co/JgEK0ht9o6

Russia’s recruitment from Africa for its war in Ukraine is expanding discreetly, with a particular focus on East & Central Africa. The main targets include Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with up to $2,200 monthly plus citizenship offered to recruits https://t.co/JWl3p9d8oP

Please follow me on Instagram to see photos and videos relating to my investigations, speeches and discussions on Russian operations and atrocities by Russian paramilitaries across Africa https://t.co/bO4bklzjso https://t.co/feuIWXGrEU

Russia paid Iran around $104m in gold bars for killer drones which it is using in its war on Ukraine. For those wondering why Africa’s gold is so important to Moscow, here’s your answer. https://t.co/cx5XoutfAC https://t.co/fDsoHgbEHB

We finally revealed Russia's use of non-existing journalists in francophone Africa as part of a campaign that has impacted over a dozen countries. A fee of about $80 per article was paid to the local media in West Africa for publication of disinformation https://t.co/Jmgo4wMjwm https://t.co/76XWoKmyfY

I was abducted and beaten by soldiers in the Central African Republic on the orders of Russian paramilitaries while reporting on wrongdoing by the Wagner Group https://t.co/IQgZaifTIG

In West & Central Africa, Russian paramilitaries have raped & slaughtered women, kidnapped kids and tortured young men, some of whom were eventually killed. We can’t continue to be quiet about these crimes. African leaders who welcome these mercenaries should also be held liable. https://t.co/qMwzb7qIUe

This is simply how African migrants are tricked and threatened into Russian military service https://t.co/Urf192BiiI
