During the 1960s – a period marked by Europe’s surrender of its 500-year-old colonies to Wall Street banks and American corporation conglomerates, the Dark Continent was riven by conflicts in which European mercenaries were recruited to settle scores and frontiers.  

Today, the United States is sinking under its $26 trillion debts and bringing the European Union nations down with it. The European Central Bank belongs to Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs. Europe’s defence depends on NATO which is US funded and controlled by the pentagon. A former director of the CIA admitted that the CIA controls the European media; he ‘died in an accident’ shortly afterwards. The scenario has been described as the sinking of the Titanic dragging passengers and deckchairs down with it.

Stepping into the vacuum is China and Russia, which nations are reluctant to inject their own armed forces. Time, however, for the mercenaries to return to do their nations jobs for them.

A Russian mercenary group dubbed ‘controversial’ by corporate-owned media has been linked to ‘grave human rights abuses’ in the Central African Republic, new UN probe claims. Strange, the UN after 60 years is finally noticing ‘human rights abuses’ in Africa like nothing happened over those decades, Zimbabwe, Sudan, South Africa, Ethiopia, etc.

A UN team has alleged that a controversial private military contractor, brought in by the embattled government of the Central African Republic, is behind a series of troubling and violent attacks in the civil-war-wracked nation.

The working group tasked with assessing the situation in the Central African Republic announced on Tuesday that its members were ‘deeply disturbed’ by a claimed link between the mercenaries from the Russian ‘Wagner Group’ of paramilitaries and potential ’grave human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law.’

The company’s contractors have been operating alongside forces loyal to Faustin-Archange Touadéra, the country’s current president, who was sworn in on Tuesday but has faced insurrection from rebel troops. The new UN analysis noted also that the Wagner Group works closely with the 15,000 UN troops stationed in the republic as part of a peacekeeping mission.

According to the investigative panel, which does not appear to have included any Russian rapporteurs, ’among the violations are reports of mass summary executions, arbitrary detentions, torture during interrogations, forced disappearances, forced displacement of the civilian population, indiscriminate targeting of civilian facilities, violations of the right to health, and increasing attacks on humanitarian actors.’

‘Greater clarity on the roles of ‘international partners’ and accountability is urgently needed in order to achieve sustainable peace and stability in the Central African Republic,’ the group said in a statement.

In 2019, an investigation by Moscow’s liberal Novaya Gazeta newspaper claimed that there were links between the Wagner Group and brutal torture and execution in Syria. A man depicted in a graphic clip, during which a purported Islamic State soldier was killed by troops supposedly speaking Russian, was claimed to be an employee of the shadowy military company.

When asked about the footage, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said he had not watched it and it was not on the presidential administration’s radar. He added that it had nothing to do with the Russian Armed Forces’ mission in Syria. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied it has any knowledge of the Wagner Group’s operations. If you like this story, share it with a friend!
