Following the 2023 death of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, Russia’s Ministry of Defense (MOD) moved to replace Wagner’s operations in Africa with a new unit known as the Africa Corps. The Corps has effectively taken over many of Wagner’s former positions on the continent, absorbing not only its former mercenaries but also its recruiters. These former Wagner recruiters have updated their social media profiles and are now calling on others to join the MOD’s “elite unit.” This joint investigation between Nordsint and Verstka reveals who is sending Russians to the Africa Corps, what they are promised in return, and the fate of remaining Wagner members in Africa.
