in april 2019 libyan war. lower general. hi lisa, have launched an assault on the un recognized government and previous capital. tripoli, the, it soon became clear that half towards troops known as the libyan national army. the l. n. a. were not acting alone. the server that the intelligence agency reported on it cut the not that many of them. you're an estimated 200 people. me to answer for about them, but the fighting went on, are the number grew up or what the

what are the from the start these forces made a difference on the battlefield. a clear difference was how is that how kennedy asked had they had weapons we'd never seen before as to how they can then most of how would seriously see any precision guided ammunition can snipers and thousands of home was camacho understood. they hit with aimed at those tenny was that they could take out a moving car, no time, totally from ken. hey, anyhow, for them. and they were highly trained militarily in the account of the deep asked me for unlike other stuff coming in the i mean on can we

any a jimmy? honestly, they all were the same close helmets in body or the the canada. we found out who they were when they went to the front them and i'm in front of you. they were mainly russians and war from countries of the former soviet union savvy. 4 months reporters from the bbc's, arabic and russian service is carried of research into russian mercenaries in libya . the they're known collectively as the wagner groups. but who is dog now? and why was the group in libya and most importantly, who was pulling the strings? the then unlucky break.

okay, here we go. by them. how? that's how the, the, the we've got, this is the tablet government troops has found us a lot on sort of the, about the call to hold them to the parking lot on it. well, it belonged to one of the wagner men who were stationed in the islands are area within the cells of tripoli. i can't imagine why you didn't see multiple things are going on topless. and i tried that and there are a lot of houses on the most important is offline maps. many locations are marks of on come up to the one on a and i the them in, in monica where the see, this is triple a. in the west of livia, all the names are in russian. many locations are marked in different colors, not even in america. or next to them, and when sound like a, like a minimum of probably below last most, most in read below and others are in blue and that got it done by the few smaller places in black. we even see yellow here, and those are the that, as you see,

all the points are near ions are on the south of triple is all the way. if you go to the adamant again i is the we're going to ions are the middle where this tablet was filed with the names that are kinda items are a head, a heavy russian presence according to the civilians and military personnel where they ask any of you that kind of want to come up to them and them, as you can see in the areas now em terminate is or if there was a mass exodus for hines, or at the time of opinions of its residents returned once the war in the day were away, for more than a year and on the southern center, it's better to want to find me that's too

high some way. i finally spend 9 weeks fighting wagner mercenaries in ons are they were only 10 kilometers from tripling. and i do some of these on the enemy was over there by the tower and the mosque. skinner. and then they drove up and down in an armored vehicle with their wounded temperatures of how the how and again, most of the time this is where the russians had their observation post where they're snipers were stationed. let's have a look at the, you know, where was the sniper? exactly at the moment this was this

domain, the net . so we were at the end of the street saying has this investment. uh huh. okay. and at the time, as you get a clear shot in several directions to everything and view, then they can have a not a good idea of what do you think about the russians who are here? most of mercenaries. anyhow, they only care about money for the uh, the search um they kill somebody. did you go from the commit crimes for money i'm coming in and let in and it is, it's a criminal organization. one of them was it on me. so

really about about, off has been researching the wagner group for the bbc for years pioneer the so these, so these are the locations that were saved by the bag and a soldier on the tablets as they were fighting. so they would have the tablets on them and all these locations were saved as landmarks. so do you have a significance to a soldier in regards to the fights and they were doing and names are. so, and if i start from the top here, and this is the closest point to chip release, so this would be your nines, our phone line. i'm going to zoom in a bit more. it is, this is the, this could be a list of targets. for example, they write to thermal targets,

or nighttime arrival. diesel reach beloved said it may be that meant a shell landed there at night, so i don't know who to do with this. so if you feed zoom in here earlier, is this mohammed's asian? it probably means some kind of local commander was working with them because lower down is the word study. so the kids, so due to the arabic means, friend. so they can use of they called the troops, they cooperated with and syria substitute troops seated. that's apparently what they call, general hop tars forces, and lydia was come up and she learned very simple because she was in southern good and so called sound like code names. they probably had a check point at the junction of each other as a consultant and judging from the code names,

the read positions are those of the mercenaries. so any of these things from the code names that we have for some of the soldiers? will we be able to identify them? yes, of course. he's cute. we have list says wagner personnel with names and code names and events. and you see that to me just because there's no that's there's no way we could use this map to start digging limits. and that's still the complex thing to do. the typical buttons that are, unless someone is at the wagner group, is one of the most secretive organizations in russia. i could send that because it doesn't even officially exist at some point. it could you please, but more than 5000 people are found to be part of this organization, named after the great german composer. when you get to the complex you and i don't mean to bug that a condom mercenaries don't give interviews. some kind of money that you'd do to

former members agreed to talk to us if we kept their names and identity secret. but it was for the semester, but i'm not uniqueness. defining the using again, these are their exact words spoken by actors sort of what i need to get of running his cousin level as well. some of us to start with something simple as you can company. how would you explain who the wagner group is and what it does to someone who's never heard of it? and if it does that, it can use that. so if you're to my husband, you might, it's not just a little i still knew i'd probably start by telling them what i was told when i joined the episode of board, which at this the door to control it. but it knows it's an organization that supports russian interest to yonder countries borders. so to get to that, but it does much not live upon union a. so because of the church, you know,

it takes on special tasks. that means military operations east doesn't what kinds of people join them? what is led to me? there are 3 category. you have 3. could you go to the little g firstly, men who can't imagine any other life for themselves at the what the core and mercenaries. so that to that list job is the only way they want to live and earn a living. we slip that so you raise know they love shit. sports is that about the when you're junior vote of what they prefer, you see that i get you go to italy, you get 3 categories. 2 people with a sense of hopelessness. need you more would make you was more than to see just to increase that they can't see any other way to support themselves. and

usually who did we come because there is no other option. go to a general mind to keep. and the 3rd category romantic, usable readers in search of an adrenalin hit, you know, also want to serve their country issues and was more of a list 1st movie to cheese. a lot, no units fund alongside pro russian separatists in eastern ukraine in 2014, in 2015. they showed up in syria and then the central african republic ensued on and in 2018 libya. over the side, we started getting reports of russians fighting for the so called wagner group on half to our side in the fall of 2019 a half that i cannot see heidi how the scene with this of us, the media, it's in front of us. i don't know exactly how many were in libya. still peace, 500,

but the 150. 1500. the numbers very not what they were there in 2019. that's a fact. we saw mercenaries come in on both sides of the conflict. you also had a number of the syrians, thousands of syrians who were brought in uh on the part of the, on behalf of the jan a through through turkey. we were concerned about this, you know, insertion of mercenaries and weaponry that was perpetuating, intensifying the conflict and leading 1st and foremost to be a mr. ration of the living people. this need needed to stop because we knew there was not, there was going to be a military solution to this conflict of from, of, as far as i understand it. cool. the russian government's position was the following. legal,

you have left them joint and we'll wait. it out. what early in the front of your mother? yes, i cannot be here in kenneth nothings usually if it works out well, we can use it to our advantage. if it turns out badly, then we had nothing to do with it much that are highly so last time we spoke we um, we shared with you uh, some of the exams are found by the tablets, other locations or the tablets. um. can you tell us why you manage to find the yes, we ran all the names and code names of wagner fighters thought to have been in libya through a database. the database was compiled by ukrainian volunteers during the fighting and eastern ukraine in 201420155 university unit b, that we were able to identify 2 or 3 of the fighters on the trip of lima by it. so

i thought of the proposal was not the kinds of people you would have somebody that could, are you able to share with me one of the identities on in the chat? so can have a look which is which we now know that this has to meet 3, but on se was born in 1993 is code name. so lang that makes sense. any, it's the name of a river embody. gotcha. and the russian far east of them is weird. see, he's from buddy up to you and that explains his code name. do you want me to assist you with his personnel? number it shows he's one of the 1st people to join wagner. and he explained to me that it was with numbers up to 3000, are those who went to fight 6 years ago and ukraine's united issue. they went through syria and they're now in africa. i'm to see you the earliest the thank you . looking at his birth date is about 28 years old. so that means he started fights and we were back in there at the start of his twenty's. yes, judging from his age,

he probably completed his national service, then ukraine conflict started. that's how he got involved. you'd be doing sort of the pacific on which was due to what the type of sent you another link in the chat . but pretty soon the, this is the data and me, it's kim at telephone as a door, andre of it, i hope i pronounced that correctly. well, it's more of how the code name meddler made me to the meta, exactly a short version of his surname. and just to kind of show now if you will find me what information every minutes together about this guy. he's significantly older than photo and stuff over 35. judging from his personal number, he also joins wagner, 5 or 6 years ago during the fighting and the eastern new crane by you being the best i can,

can i you me and yeah. so seeing this interesting picture of this guy was a big tattoo units on a chest. and the idea of what is taught to means is yes, i see it's a son we'll, he's probably some kind of nazi nazi ideology is a common thing amongst background soldiers. yes, there are some. so do you have um is them a phobic believes to be i don't think they care if they fight in muslim countries or anywhere else. they started out fighting and orthodox ukraine and that didn't seem to matter. i don't think religion is the main thing here in a business, and you're good to go to, to be an option. what was it that attracted you to the organization didn't give money?

what do you mean? you know, to belong to them by 2 cuts to the bottom. i had already been a volunteer fighter and done boss in ukraine able to go they need to, but i don't want to keep away in the i no longer believe in the romance of war as to the quick lane, not i knew the reality. so get onto the website. yeah. and i just needed the money to genuity. so that's good we, when did the talk about going to libya started? did you believe it was going to show we started talking about it early on whenever there's some kind of armed conflict. wagner, soldiers talk about it, talk with you much and go, you could go to this one. that could be one for us. i would look to the political one the door. but most of cars are starting to get a, it's a contract at the getting every contract and every country means money is and you have to come without a contract. no money. so changes or what the pricing to be premium. how many wagner

people were deployed in libya? and you believe me? yes, my brother, i know about 2 units and they were replaced by another to me. i knew about them. so if you have some tubs of on the school, how many men? genuine was, i don't know exactly around a 1000 i can get the some with the friends and dental teaching. i. so that's what a, i some, i have a tablet that we got from one of the wagner locations on my uh, equipment on a month for buying them. their forces are in red, yours are in blue. uh let me see how the i was stationed here. the for concerning the wrong, and when you were stationed there, yes, 50 the enemy knew precisely where you were or how does that deal with them?

are there any show? it's a strange feeling to think that they tracked all our movements. obviously already been well enough for them to come to me to the final, but that was the wagner position. we'd located whether this is one of our positions and that's foreigners, the other, the guns, the kennel, the 4th fund, or the federal trench, or anything in advance. or how are they able to locate you so precisely, and go to the doctor and they monitored us with small drones the as a bit of a problem in front of me identify some of the wagner menu were fighting. would you like to know who they were? their name is on the pictures on my smart home, our so on the ticket so that the, this is one of the point saved on the tablet that's it's named after one of them in this called metal. or i just wanna make sure i had it since that was our position,

and then an estimate of cameron or his full name is say to or and a tell can i was born in 1984 which makes sent on 37. and i think the center as a sort of that's his picture. this is one of the guys who were fighting off in se hoodie, it feels weird. a lot of our studies much older than you send them before are these are lives in the amount of supposed to sure our guys are 21 years old. so that's a huge difference. that it can be a victim. i any effects of where the and boost it says that it means that they were fighting well trained russians all older than 30 and then and no can as close to the man and i for one who mount. imagine what the battles would have been like if our people had been the same age and was add, you keep canyon. and i said, hey, cool

the this does, it shouldn't, don't get with you, ma'am. you have to study. i served for a long time in the organizations in syria for going to us these get them when you, when the libya campaign star table. i didn't want to take the car to learn. you does a not in syria, so many people and definitely not in libya vulnerability. the least you know, just well, i took part in the storming of palmera virginia and you've to meet the liberal ration of the oil fields school because how many of them died. and i'm always glad you asked me too many. we knew no problem of the sort. we know that one of their primary rebates was to protect the pulmonary helped

mirror area. that area is really the parts of oil and gas production in, in syria. we saw spreadsheets with, you know, millions and millions of roubles being transferred in exchange for providing infrastructure, security and perimeter, security and securing the oil and gas facilities. and the wagner group would get a portion of the take from, from the production. basically, the draft of the contract became public in early 2018. the 2 partners were allegedly, the syrian government and a russian company, andro ponies. the russian company not only appear to profit from the gas and oil production, but was also apparently connected to the wagner group in libya.

what's been at stake there are, you know, both oil um delivery from the ports as well as gas production facilities in that sort of been gauzy area. and then, you know, going, you know, south and east word we're haft are, is, is prevalent. wagner mercenaries are sought to have taken up positions and key libyan oil fields. after the assault on tripoli, a contorted what it means is that 3 statues honor the wagner. you brooks comfortably play music. one shows a soldier. protecting a child is the if the artist had been honest and the soldier would be protecting an oil, the last quarter won't have to move with that i am the sort of general how do i look at all of this guns? most people say, well, many serious crimes committed during the civil war to be many

were forced out of the household. i mean the 1340 was under siege. my know in the people were severely impacted us, mentally and financially as of the homes were destroyed in that position. stone and to many died in this will approach children and women, one fuser, the mother, she had the gloves. buckner mercenaries committed a heinous crime against the family and espia to 3 of us up to the flat though it should be in september. we were in this house and it has to be on september 23rd 2019. so it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, i was running this item that we were about to go back to our other farm popular. we met an armed group on the road and they started shooting in the air. this was all that image mom, and 6 or 7 mercenaries entered the house and they were foreigners,

and it was clear they were from the wagner group lip soon. uh, they put hoods over our heads, but we could still see a little that can know you and mr. hope you a component. they put us in a car, a nissan or a so suki. and they took us to the concert, been gosh, year for an adjustable last year. residence secretly film the videos that showed the faces of lock, now mercenaries and libya, for the 1st time on the side of the house at 5 or 6 am they put his in the back of the nice son of then they took us to the neighbor's house and how is that like a it had an out building and its 6 am they lined to soft their side by side when it

went to what was the gym? i was at one end. i'm sure of options when numbers, but when one of them drew his gun home can and i knew he was going to shoot. limits have this that. how does that mean? if it a few i sell him, pretended to be dead, but had it's been months madness and his mom and the muslims, it was dark and i like kind of some stuff. the family was lined up along this goals, and i'm going to tell you that some of the so let's see if this is where the wagner man committed their crime. got the 3 been hickey. i waited about 5 minutes until they left things out of the room and i heard the car leaving. so yeah, the other 2 must come into what is my father and brother and brother in law were all dead. how does that does to can you describe any of the people who fired at you want to find the know so what i look like to know. so i sort of had

this one was outside the supermarket and this be a shift was involved and it's not like enough for this kind of heavy. well, i know not him, but a similar type image. my one of them is from the far east. chef the far east. yes. in other words, i'm sort of the, could you recognize him? yes i did. is this tim? do you recognize him? that's him. that's the stuff. how they did he have the same hair cut next? yes, but scientists are you other than that? his name is will that be made on donald? what are your aliases? my alias is vodka. readings to my wife, my mother and my daughter, and my friends, and the republican for out you when seems pressed more of a good that he was born in 1978 law. his code name is rocca. see, he was in syria and, and libya he was accused of killing prisoners would be about williams

. he was allegedly involved in the execution of ukrainian soldiers. and could i ask william, that's a little issue. ukrainian activists are tracking wagner mercenaries to font in eastern ukraine. we've had enough to mention that since we believe we wouldn't have us to complain, they've identified his last known location of seen as north africa, nobela cuts, cable it the save it in there. often it comes with anthem. but this is disputed by voc as friends on social media. i think it sadly you will come and do it of course long enough to send me leave you. they say he's alive and well at home in body, etc. out of nowhere to is always that all we we were unable to contact and i deem it undone of the so you have to keep it. is it just look, i mean, is that the turkish president send recently the 2000 involved in

a mess and raise were in libya, miami. uh no, you want me to go uh like a company box enough. i mean, impression citizens are there, then they're not acting on the orders of the russian state, and they're not getting money from the russian state police here. it's almost like a little though i talk a little so you can ask protein as many questions as we are lighting up here. we've heard many answers, but nothing makes sense. i hear and we'll see if it's clear that without state support a company like that could never exist. not, for example, like when you've got personnel and equipment being transported in defense, ministry, plains, use some of or, and russian navy, cargo planes to syria. for example, here's the thing that i see the, the something that cannot be lever uh,

slogan i see. the libyan army attacked wagner positions and saw that a dean south of tripoli in february 2020. the government forces received military support from turkey, which helped to turn the tide against wagner. the group had been trying to find fresh supplies. the . these are the requests for military equipment. they were sent just a week after president pretend denied, supporting russian mercenaries in libya. the for. ready the

professing so mediately of this, having had to look at this equipment request list, is that now primarily russian manufactured and produced weapons. these are not weapons of easily available ass on the open market. the 272, they are old ranks has probably been upgraded. i wouldn't say sites with yeah, there's probably at least some of the lights as the equipment on it. this isn't a unit that is content to go into the field with seconds, right. equipment. if there was one type of weapon that jumps out to you as probably the most advanced thing, or, you know, near point of view, the most interesting, why would it be? there's a one piece of equipment that stands out here and it's a particular right of the states a deal. and that radars task will be to collide finalize, electronic signals intelligence over

a much wider area. so that kind of leads one to assess that parts of this unit may well be feeding intelligence fading electronic intelligence up to a higher level. who do you think that might be for in order to be able to approve this kind of way? is obviously someone, well connected, hire either politically or militarily within the back in a group. and clearly, some of them with extremely good access and my interpretation to the russian government the to do these look like genuine documents and independent. that's absolutely no doubt about a couple of the, you know, who signed this 9 is the code name for mr. wagner, or mr. mckinney,

who can himself the imagery in was once a part of a russian special forces unit. his code name, wagner. because of his admiration for the nazis who appropriated the music of the german composer. the vote can is thought to be the founder and commander of the wagner group. there's because got to, here's a clue, company you've a company, abriel police. and those are the most of it was active in oil producing areas in syria city initiative to do this. so this information is about radio communication equipment, boston battle. i thought, and these are receipts for radios made out by field commanders who took part in the attack on tripoli to be as a little bit just in the the media reports link police to business

man. you've got any precaution goals and, and he's known the russian president vladimir putin for a long time. there's been some of the media call. the importance chef on zillow. getting real simple, but i'm the most come november 2018. the footage of general half cars visit to the russian defense ministry, the among those present the you have guinea pre goes the flyer. thank you for supporting the libyan people. and for your a in our fight against terrorism, the general hosta launched his

assault on tripoli. just 5 months later i so you're getting for gordon a is a well known russian oligarch who for many, many years was very close to the put in routine. but he is under sanction now by the united states. and so are his businesses the pacific. you have a senior, these documents are addressed to a general director just who could that be the most and with the most, i think the general director is you have any per goshen. we applied for the new list. that's interesting. what i'm kind of the thing here, but i sure if they're writing to the general director, the goshen is a business man. he runs restaurants on you know what they need to pay for the steam commute, but here they say they need tanks. don't they seem as well, but thing i forgot it's up to that means that the russian army is a serious organization and to get a tank,

you have to at least negotiate with someone as high as a general director. so it's like, you know, gonna affect the minimum of a regular company commander can't just go and pick up a tank whenever he needs one or hopefully someone gives me more of a play, keeps that talked, his name will move a precaution. can you help me? i think so they're not just writing these letters for funding, the worst of what they want to attack the pollution of the quote to ordinary soldiers. say about precaution with the cook. um, it's like in harry potter where no one is allowed to say the name voldemort william a. it's a taboo subject. it's better not to mention it to him, a lights, or you might end up in a metal box with a messed up face for 2 weeks that you got this video and i'm convenient. it sounds good to me. it's only because you go to the bottom. you didn't use it in the heat and the metal container and so with

a messed up face. if you have any pre goals and spokesman denies any connection between pretty goshen and everett police as well as any human rights abuses committed by russian citizens in libya at 11 15 am this morning here. new un headquarters in geneva to, to live in delegations signs a complete country wide and permanent cease fire agreement with immediate effect. the parties agreed that all military units and armed groups on the front lines shall return to their camp. the shelby, accompanied by the departure of all mercenaries and foreign fighters from all the band territories within a maximum period of 3 months from today. so so, so, so, so, so our other says, oh, the units have left their mark on tripoli in the form of mines and booby traps

the words danger mines are written on this wall. well yeah, an arrow shows where they are logging in on that wall. there, at least 3 children have died in this neighborhood of 3 children. that's why they're yes, from families that came back. i sort of see how to get closer to mines a lot. you're always worried that you could lose someone you'd want to come in the reports, say thousands of foreign fighters remain in libya, including members of the wagner group, the
