@z5azob: The Africa Corps (Russian: Африканский корпус, romanized: Afrikanskiy korpus) is a Russian paramilitary organization established by the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (MoD), which serves as an expeditionary force designed to advanced Russian strategic, economic, and geopolitical interests in Africa. The corps largely took over the operations of the Wagner Group in Africa, by subsuming and rebranding its structures. The Corps' creation is part of a broader Russian strategy to increase its influence in Africa, where it competes with the United States as part of a broader geopolitical rivalry. The Africa Corps operates through a mix of mercenaries and volunteers, and estimates of its size vary. The Africa Corps has a smaller and more integrated role compared to Wagner, focusing on providing military support, training, and urban counterterrorism cooperation with local Russia-aligned governments in countries like Libya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and the Central African Republic. The Russian government aims to use this entity to project influence, filling the security vacuum left by the withdrawal of Western powers, especially France, from the Sahel region. Russia also seeks to gain control over strategic resources like uranium, particularly in Niger, as well as leverage migration routes for geopolitical purposes. #африка #война #333militaryteam #военный #сво
