It has become illegal to support Wagner in the UK, and supporters can face prison sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Some believe the Africa Corps will be less cruel than Wagner, but make no mistake!! People should not underestimate them; whether it&#8217;s them or Wagner, it&#8217;s the same evil. Their evil agenda hasn&#8217;t changed: and there\u00b4s indications that civilians are threatened by the Africa Corps&#8217; operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Also, we must not see Wagner as a single entity, it\u00b4s a network. A vast network of shady operations and front companies with various activities in many countries. They have a large propaganda machine, or &#8220;troll&#8221; factory, self-sufficient and manipulative. They use titles like &#8220;instructors&#8221; or &#8220;protectors&#8221; and they know how to conceal their evil agendas by appearing sympathetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Except for those poor innocent civilians that are constantly tortured and murdered, sometimes only because they happen to be in the way of a Wagner patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">To quote a report: &#8220;Experts say Russia&#8217;s decision to rename Wagner with a name reminiscent of the Nazi regime&#8217;s Afrika Korps, created by Adolf Hitler to control North African territories during World War II, will not change its toxic impact on the countries where it operates.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;Russian mercenaries are fighting in the Central African Republic (CAR) and Mali, where they are involved in extracting gold, diamonds, and other vital natural resources as payment for their services. They continue to kill, torture, and rob civilians who cross their paths.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Source: ADF Magazine<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-d5ba61f7ffa6a0118b6610e127029dca\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/acleddata.com\/2022\/08\/30\/wagner-group-operations-in-africa-civilian-targeting-trends-in-the-central-african-republic-and-mali\/#s6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports by ACLED<\/a> (Armed Conflict Location &amp; Event Data) Overall, 71% of Wagner\u2019s engagement in political violence in Mali \/Azawad was violence targeting civilians. And that Wagner FAMa (the Malian armed forces) does not distinguish between between civilians and combatants, which was evidenced by for example <a href=\"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/terrible-massacre-in-moura-by-wagner-and-fama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the multi-day massacre in Moura<\/a> and several other similar events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-1639f3fa3a93a83acb8e907d28363de7\">And that includes all combatants, but especially the Azawad army, the <a href=\"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/azawad-liberation-front-fla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Azawad Liberation Front<\/a>, which Bamako regard as terrorists even though they are separatists. But then again, they regard every Azawadian living being as a &#8220;terrorist&#8221;. As for the real terrorist groups, they seem to be remarkable little targeted. Mostly sometimes maybe just for the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That is also explained by the fact that the Malian authorities main agenda is the ongoing genocide on the Azawadian population using and paying for the help of Wagner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-295d6168ff6017d64a157ad88db95263\">Outwardly FAMa claims they respect human rights and they have for a long time even flatly denied that Wagner is even there, while Wagner themselves have stated the contrary. And the contrary is the truth, they are definitely there, and that we all know, ever since they came. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-06861ccb3c34c4ab0d3b72e6c9d906db\">As for Mali respecting human rights, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/human-rights-an-obstacle-for-mali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports <\/a>containing interviews with Malian officials stating that the junta is not interested in any human rights. They even consider it a burden. That we know too, because that is proven every single day, and not only proven, it\u00b4s also recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-5e9947ebb576cea901b72d43e6213c7b\">Moreover, Wagner also engage in targeting civilians independently, away from state forces and the groups operations have very negatively affected civilian safety. It will most likely be no different with the Africa Corps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-3de7b67b049f3761e0f84097fa73455f\">Wagner\u00b4s employment has entailed everything from looting and burning to mass atrocities, torture, summary executions, booby traps, poisoning of animals and general murder of civilian populations. Specifically Arabs, Tuareg and Fulani in Azawad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Under a new name, the group continues the same tactics: propping up authoritarian regimes, plundering Africa&#8217;s wealth, and undermining stability. Has anything really changed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/manif-paris.jpg?resize=1024%2C706&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/manif-paris.jpg?resize=1024%2C706&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/manif-paris.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/manif-paris.jpg?resize=768%2C529&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/manif-paris.jpg?resize=18%2C12&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/manif-paris.jpg?w=1151&amp;ssl=1 1151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Manifestation in Paris, jan 14, 2024, against the massacres done by the Wagner and Fama against civilians in Azawad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?resize=685%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?resize=685%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 685w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?resize=201%2C300&amp;ssl=1 201w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?resize=768%2C1148&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?resize=1027%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1027w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_9677.jpg?w=1242&amp;ssl=1 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">An civilian in Azawad, got his ear cut off by Wagner in february 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"459\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/burning2.jpg?resize=459%2C676&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/burning2.jpg?w=459&amp;ssl=1 459w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/burning2.jpg?resize=204%2C300&amp;ssl=1 204w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/burning2.jpg?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A village in Azawad burnt by Wagner\/Fama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BATTLEZONE.jpg?resize=413%2C581&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4822\" style=\"width:457px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BATTLEZONE.jpg?w=413&amp;ssl=1 413w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BATTLEZONE.jpg?resize=213%2C300&amp;ssl=1 213w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/freeazawad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BATTLEZONE.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-5c2d47d10624b38da77697be333f62ab\">Dead Wagner soldiers at the battle zone of <a href=\"https:\/\/freeazawad.com\/en_gb\/the-battle-of-tinzawatine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tinzawatene on july 27<\/a>, 2024, when they were epically defeated by the Azawadian army.
