Hey Friends — I finally decided to raise money for my investigation into Russian atrocities across Africa, which I can no longer continue to do without support. Don’t want to discontinue this very important work. Please donate to keep this effort going:

I am going to spend my week posting updates on Russian atrocities and covert operations across Africa that you may never find elsewhere.

Victoria Roshchyna, who was murdered in Russia, and I recently won the Homo Homini award. I’m sad to learn that Russia returned her body without several organs, including her brain and eyeballs, and it bore signs of torture, suggesting an attempt to conceal her cause of death.

I’ve spent months investigating human rights abuses by Russian paramilitaries in the Central African Republic. It was very challenging. I survived detention and abduction. I saw and heard so much. Now it’s time to tell the stories. Stay tuned.

I know my job as journalist investigating Russian atrocities is risky and my life will always be at risk. But the implication of Russia’s actions in Africa and beyond is so huge that I really feel I have no choice but to do what I do.

They are killing civilians and seizing goldmines. Others are raping women and snatching children. Some are going after journalists, including me, who try to expose these atrocities. This is what Russian paramilitaries are doing in Africa.

With sadness, I spoke about massacre, rape and human rights atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed in West and Central Africa at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway. It was shocking to so many.

Over a dozen Ghanaian men were promised security and agricultural jobs in Russia, but they ended up at the frontlines of the Ukrainian war. This is how Russia uses deceit and intimidation to recruit Africans for its war in Ukraine.
