Putin Expands Russia’s Sahel Grip, Replacing Wagner With Africa Corps |Firstpost Africa | N18G

Russia is expanding its military footprint in Africa’s volatile Sahel region as President Vladimir Putin replaces the Wagner Group with the state-controlled Africa Corps. Unlike Wagner, which operated as a semi-private mercenary force with ambiguous Kremlin ties, Africa Corps functions directly under Russia’s Defence Ministry and national intelligence. Its deployments in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger mark a shift toward a formal, institutional force aimed at securing Moscow’s influence across West Africa. The Sahel, plagued by Islamist insurgencies and political instability, is becoming a key battleground for Russian power projection, especially as Western forces scale back their presence. --- Vladimir Putin | Russia | Wagner Group | Africa Corps | Sahel | Mali | Burkina Faso | Niger | Moscow | Firstpost Africa | Alyson Le Grange | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #vladimirputin #russia #wagnergroup #africacorps #sahel #mali #burkinafaso #niger #moscow #firstpostafrica #africa #alysonlegrange #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
