When the #RussianAfricaCorps replaced #WagnerPMC 6 months ago, weary civilians hoped for less brutality. The #UnitedNations says they have been abused by all sides in the conflict.

But refugees described a new reign of #terror by #AfricaCorps in the vast & largely lawless territory, & legal analysts said #Moscow is directly responsible.

#WestAfrica’s vast Sahel region has become the deadliest place in the world for #extremism, with thousands of people killed. The #military governments of #Mali, #BurkinaFaso & #Niger have turned from Western allies to #Russia for help combating the fighters affiliated with #alQaida or the #IslamicState group.

“It’s a scorched-earth policy,” said a Malian village chief who fled. “The soldiers speak to no one. Anyone they see, they shoot. No questions, no warning. People don’t even know why they are being killed.”

The #RussianAfricaCorps is using the same tactics as #WagnerPMC the refugees said, in accounts not reported by international media until now. 2 refugees showed videos of villages burned by the “white men.” 2 others said they found bodies of loved ones with liver & kidneys missing, an abuse the AP previously reported around Wagner.

Witnesses describe abuses by Russia's Africa Corps as it fights in Mali

The Associated Press has spoken to over 30 refugees from Mali who say they witnessed beheadings, rapes and other abuses committed by Africa Corps, a new military unit under Russia's direct command. The Africa Corps this year replaced the Wagner mercenary group in working with Mali's army to fight militants in West Africa's Sahel region. The Sahel has become the deadliest place on earth for extremism, and Mali and neighboring Burkina Faso and Niger have turned from Western allies to Moscow for help in fighting back. Legal analysts say that because Africa Corps is under Russian government control, Moscow is directly responsible.
