After the death of Prigozhin, what is the future of the Wagner company in Africa?
Many countries will remember the existence of Yevgeny Prigozhin, and for different reasons. In Kiev, for leading his fighters to the battlefield in Ukraine, in Russia, as a patriot and as a traitor for his attempt to rebel against the Moscow government in June.
At the same time, Prigozhin can be remembered in countries far from Russia, such as the Central African Republic and Mali, where the governments of the countries rely on the work of his Wagner group to prevent security threats.
Also, public opinion in these countries sees Wagner and the Russian government as partners who help their countries regain their power from France.
The presence of Wagner's contract in Africa was confirmed in 2018 in the Central African Republic after President Faustin Archange Touadera asked for the help of mercenaries to suppress the rebels.
Russia has already helped rebuild the country's army and ensure the security of the capital Bangui.
In the country of Mali, the army that governs the country rushed to Moscow to find a solution to stop the terrorist attacks, but it is also seen to eliminate the French army.
It didn't take long until her neighbor Burkina Faso, which was suffering from armed conflicts that led to a military takeover of the country, asked for help.
In Africa, Wagner's company continues to meet Moscow's military, political and economic ambitions, much to the chagrin of Western leaders who are showing their displeasure.
In the Republic of Niger, the most recent country in the Sahel region to face a coup, supporters of the military government have asked Russia to intervene, and the withdrawal of French troops from the country is expected.
Questions about the future of Wagner's work in Africa have been rife since Prigozhin rebelled against the Moscow government in June, and the Russian Foreign Ministry said the events would have no effect on the organization's activities.
While Prigozhin's death undoubtedly came when it was seen that Russia was using him to achieve other goals, the question is, how will Wagner's future be, especially in the countries where he began to influence?
