Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Russia\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has vowed Wagner Group\u2019s operations in Mali and the Central African Republic \u201cwill continue\u201d despite the failed rebellion led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the mercenaries, against Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

The paramilitary group has expanded its reach across Latin America, the Middle East and Africa in recent years and is seen by Western governments as Russia\u2019s armed foreign policy apparatus. Prigozhin\u2019s mutiny raised questions about the future of its overseas operations.<\/p>\n

Prigozhin led an uprising against Putin\u2019s army beginning Friday night, first seizing the major southern city of Rostov-on-Don and sending his mercenary forces on a march to Moscow before abruptly standing down his men Saturday night.<\/p>\n

In Africa, where the group exercises influence in the Central African Republic, Mali and Burkina Faso, Wagner offers its services and help to prop up anti-Western governments in exchange for access to natural resources.<\/p>\n

And Lavrov was bullish on the group\u2019s future prospects in the region. \u201cAt their request, several hundred servicemen are working in the CAR as instructors \u2014 this work, of course, will continue .<\/p>\n

Both the CAR and Mali appealed to the Wagner PMCs [Private Military Contractors] with a request to ensure the safety of their leadership,\u201d Lavrov said in an interview with RT.<\/p>\n

Lavrov said the recent events in Russia would not affect its relations with \u201cpartners and friends. \u201d Paris, which has seen Wagner utilize disinformation and cyberwarfare against French interests in the Sahel region, is watching closely.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister Catherine Colonna said Monday that while it was \u201ctoo early\u201d to draw conclusions about the impact in Russia of Wagner\u2019s revolt, elsewhere in Africa the situation required \u201call our attention\u201d and \u201cvigilance.
\nFide\u0300le Gouandjika, a minister and special adviser to CAR President Faustin-Archange Touade\u0301ra, told AFP his country had signed \u201ca defense deal with Russia and not Wagner .
\n. Moscow has subcontracted to Wagner, and if Russia doesn\u2019t agree, it will send us a new contingent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Wagner appears to have made few changes on the ground for now, according to the open-source network All Eyes on Wagner, but analysts say it\u2019s unlikely the status quo will prevail.<\/p>\n

Russian presence in Africa has so far involved both state and non-state actors, said Maxime Audinet, a research fellow at France\u2019s IRSEM and a Russian politics specialist. While it\u2019s too early to foresee the exact consequences, what happened over the weekend is bound to lead to a \u201cfracture,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Russia and Wagner are interdependent, he added: The mercenary group relies on the Russian state for military supplies and Russia depend on Wagner to operate in areas where Moscow doesn\u2019t want to have an official footprint.<\/p>\n

In a deal reportedly brokered by Belarus to end the mutiny, some of Prigozhin\u2019s merceneries will be absorbed into the regular Russian army, raising questions as to whether Wagner mercenaries in Africa will remain a separate entity or not.<\/p>\n

Replacing Wagner mercenaries overnight would be very difficult, Audinet added. There are also financial disputes that need to be resolved. Prigozhin reportedly complained on Telegram about missing Russian money in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrigozhin complained that Russia didn\u2019t support him enough in Africa .
\n. In Mali, the authorities are late on payments [for Wagner] because they don\u2019t receive any European aid from Europe. And Wagner is expensive, it\u2019s several million euros,\u201d said Nicolas Normand, a former French ambassador who was posted in Senegal and Mali.<\/p>\n

For Benjamin Haddad, a French MP from Macron\u2019s Renaissance party, the events in Russia were \u201ca warning\u201d for leaders in Africa who use the services of such mercenaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lesson learned here is that the instability that Wagner is seeking to export, backfires on its own regime,\u201d said Haddad.<\/p>\n

\u201cNations who call on their services, lose a part of their sovereignty, [and] we may be entering a period of volatility,\u201d said Haddad.<\/p>\n
