in the region, for example, in the central african republic. wagner's front company obtained the rights to the dasim mine. it's on... the biggest gold mine in the country, in exchange russian mercenaries promise support authoritarian regime. in sudan, a russian company controls a major oil refinery, which has allowed wagner to become the dominant buyer of raw sudanese gold. they also have planes to take gold out of the country, for example, in mali, russian mercenaries receive over $10 million in cash every month from the military junta, which in turn... gets its money from international mining companies, several of them in the country, and, for example, the canadian company beric gold paid taxes in mali in the amount of 206 million us dollars, only in the first half last 23rd year, the report says. before telling how wagner's group has changed now, a few words about its history. in the 14th year, it was founded by yevgeny prigozhin, who was often called putin's cook through. his other business, then in the 14th year of the rough wagner facilit

in the central african republic, there is a monument dedicated to russian soldiers.s here that the local military paid tribute to yevgeny prigozhin after his death. not everyone who crossed paths with wagner would have had such positive memories of the mercenaries. but it's now clear that their actions here were the blueprint for russia's expansion in africa and its ever—growing influence. that's all from us tonight. victoria is here tomorrow. goodbye. spain's interior ministry confirmed to us a man had been shot several times. they wouldn't confirm it was mr kuzminov, but his identity has been widely reported in spanish media who say he was shot, then run over in this garage. spanish officials say the body was found with false documents. we've searched the internet for traces of a new identity. we can't find any social media use since kuzminov left russia. last night, russian television talked again of betrayal. this commander says, "god will now be kuzminov�*s judge, and that retribution will find him." but a number of questions remain unanswered tonight about who

african countries during the cold war. so russia is revisiting places where it's been before. and when we talk about wagner, the central conflict was in the central african republic2018—17, there are what is the purpose of these links? because it goes beyond just commercial interests, doesn't it? it started as military support, rather than commercial contacts with these countries. one has to bear in mind that in many african countries, there are issues with rebellion and rebellions, and issues with terrorists in west africa in particular. so the initial contact was about providing military support to the armies in these countries. there's also an element in this too about creating a dependent ally, about creating a dependent ally, about russia saying to parts of africa," we need each other, you need us, and therefore in whatever you do, you have to support us." it's about creating an addiction, creating that economic dependence. it's interesting when you travel to these parts of the world, what people have —— what vision people have of this new relationship. because they do firmly believe there is a win—win connection to make with russia. it's a kind of defiance

going as refugees into ethiopia, a situation that is not stable as well or into chad or central african republicican republic. truly a| forgotten people. would african republic. truly a - forgotten people. would you like to see the biden administration doing more. you mention it is difficult because there is no—one person to negotiate with, but what more could a usb doing?! negotiate with, but what more could a usb doing?— negotiate with, but what more could a usb doing? i would say for the biden _ could a usb doing? i would say for the biden administration, . for the biden administration, the secretary of state made the attempt. you have to have parties who are willing to sit down at the table. so it is difficult. the secretary of state is doing shuttle diplomacy and a couple of areas so this is difficult. not to lessen the situation in sudan. perhaps if there was a presidential special envoy, and noto said presidential, not a special envoy from the department of state, someone with the director era the president. i know there is so much going on for administration and resources which were chal

more than 1.5 million people have fled across sudan's borders to the central african republic, chad,opia and south sudan. the un refugee chief has also warned that europe may also see an influx of sudanese migrants due to the war. plenty to talk about. we want to break this down further. with me is cindy courville. she is a former us ambassador to the african union and former white house adviser on african affairs, and quscondy abdulshafi, who's a sudanese activist and researcher at peace direct. thank you to you both for being here tonight to discuss what has been a 10—month conflict and one seemingly that isn't much closer to a resolution. ambassador, i would love to start with you. this has been called by many the forgotten war. does that level is a right you? do you think that was paying enough attention to what is going on in sudan? unfortunately i think it is the forgotten war. you have this situation, the war in ukraine. now we have with palestine and israel and we also have a situation in sudan where we didn't have peace to begin with. this has been a military regime since ba

claiming it was violating human rights. the us announced it was removing uganda along with the central african republic, gabon and niger from its so-called african growth and opportunity act. president musavini has consistently remained firm in protecting uganda's cultural values and rejecting the decadent western culture. it's not genetic, it's not hormonal, it is psychological disorientation where some... body because of some experience, hates the people you should love, and love the people should not love, it's a type of like a sickness, and to discuss uganda's firm resolve to protect the country's cultural values in the face of pressure from western power intent on imposing their distorted culture, we have contacted derek koonga, he's a... political writer at the daily monitor, thank you for your time sir today, thank you very much for having me today, following the commendable move by the uganda lawers to pass the popular anti homosexuality law in may 2023, the east african country has come under pressure from western powers to retract these laws, the ugandan president has stood farm to protect mo

next, the central african republic. finally, mali, where they met the leaders of the junta.day's report and give an insight into russia's ambitious africa strategy. these detail what the russian state can offer governments, for example, in west africa, taking up the role that was previously done by wagner and offering them what they call a regime survival package. the regime survival package is how the russians are internally describing a group of capabilities that ranges from personal protection for partner leaders, information operations to boost their popularity domestically, a range of economic protections against western sanctions for how they might be behaving, and this provision of quite capable military forces to allow them to go after their internal opponents. footage of wagner in action is rare... but what we can see is how they wanted to be portrayed. this was the trailer for a russian—funded action film called the tourist. it depicts a group of mercenaries bearing a striking resemblance to wagner, fighting what it calls terrorists in the central african republic,

this was the way the death of yevgeny prigozhin was marked in the central african republic.perations in africa. a man in washington who thought he had won a jackpot worth the hundred and 30 milan dollars has sued the lottery company, claim they published his numbers by mistake —— worth $330 million. he said he felt numb when he saw the numbers but when he presented his ticket his claim was denied and according to documents the companies involved claimed the confusion arose from a technical mistake. a costly technical mistake. a costly technical mistake. a costly technical mistake nevertheless! we can take you back to the live pictures in athens where we see hundreds of farmers protesting, demanding financial aid. they want to get more money to help them as well. they are waving flags. they arrived from across the country in their tractors. they say they are there to express solidarity with colleagues in europe and we reported earlier about farmers in poland who have been protesting in recent weeks and also protests in germany, spain, and also protests in germany, spain, and

already shown everything, listen, they were the late emperor and the former president of the central african republic jean bedel bocas, who was famous for something, shot some kind of children's demonstration, and then ate its participants, a beautiful story, i don't know how mythological it is, but if the person already knows. eats breakfast, let's say fillet from the participants of anti-government demonstrations, what else does she have to be afraid in this life that she still has to show people, well, what they haven't seen, yes, well, it's the same with putin and the bears, what else can they say, what else can they do, what they haven't they did, to press some nuclear button, well, they are afraid, because, everything else, well, they have already shown everything, well, listen, it was once possible. still there, even until 2022, to believe that there is something there that can stop these people, well, look at the noise, ugh, but listen, or look at the events of the last days, well , really, well, this unfortunate woman, mother navalny, we are not talking about politics at all, just an unfortu

already shown everything, listen, they were the late emperor and former president of the central african republic, jean bedel bokas, who was famous for something, shot some children demonstration, and then ate its participants. in this life, what she still has to show people, well, what they haven't seen, yes, well, it 's the same with putin and medvedev, what else can they say, everything they can still do, what they haven't done yet , to press some nuclear button, well here they are afraid , because well, that, everything else, well, they have already shown everything, well, listen, it was once possible to believe that there was something there, even until 2022, that could stop these people , well , look, yeah, but listen, or look the events of the last few days, well, really, well, this unfortunate woman, navalny's mother, we are not talking about politics at all now, just an unfortunate woman who lost her son, not young, as you understand, is flying to the far north so that her son's body can be given to her, and they are just playing with her, and they are just mocking her , ugh, here we wil

and for a dozen other countries that are not often mentioned, from sudan to somalia to the central african republictan to syria to many others on the edge of starvation and making sure that we are able to provide assistance to israel. this is a moment when the senate should show that we can lead through compromise. i'm hopeful the text of this bill will be released soon, tonight or tomorrow, and that after several days of reviewing what's actually in the bill as opposed to what's rumored to be in the bill, there will be enough votes to pass it in the senate. senator langford is a friend. he is one of the most conservative members of the senate i have ever called a friend. i'm confident that once folks see what's in this deal, they will recognize it's what the republicans have been calling for for months. >> what about the house? what if it dies in the house? would you separate out ukraine? >> that would be a repeat of the tragic outcome the last time that we in the senate did a comprehensive immigration bill. after months of work it went to the house to be ignored and die. if that happens, that wil

, we see some kind of invasions, then some kind of operations, then in mali, then in central africa . african republicinciple, everything that happened with libya, with gaddafi, yes, including also the result of the fact that people did not want to play the role that was assigned to north africa in this center-peripheral global world, really gradually. this withdrawal of troops from niger in in 2023 and burkina fasso there is a really huge number of incidents with the military there, because they began to be openly beaten in various french -french-colonial, say , african countries, and in the same bukinawso they went to demonstrations with russian flags, immediately the french side, as they say, it blamed russia for shaking the situation, but the situation is changing and france is starting to set its positions a little and... in principle, new players are emerging, the same russia, the same china and the same usa, china has such an interesting advantageous position, it is determined by the fact that it has chinese preferential billions against american non-preferential millions, which are burdened wi

they go to very fragile areas like child like central african republic, like poor areas of it. yeah. and uh, and, and south sudan. and then what we could see. what we could see, i rarely say that, but i think here is barely possible. he's onward movement of people towards the shores of them in the 3rd range, in effect, there is no stabilizing too many theory of a being located in large numbers. so where do you want me is issuing an appeal for about $4000000000.00 next wednesday? i hope that that being we'd be better funded than last year and you said that you were calling for it seems far because that was the crucial element that would allow the situation, the tide of the situation to turn even if there was a cease fire given to frankly, staggering numbers that were talking about are 8 organizations and organizations like yours able to actually cope with a number of people who are clearly desperately in need of help. and if there was a cease fire effect. bureaucratic impediments were lifted and the phrase horses came. so 3 things, then i believe we would be able to help many mo
