As the world watches the war in Ukraine, Russians are carrying out another fight, in Africa. Since 2017, the mercenaries of the Wagner Group, a Russian secret army have set up their base in the Central African Republic. They protect the regime in exchange for mineral resources and deploy aggressive propaganda to cover up the massacres, rapes and torture they are accused of. 

Taking advantage of France’s loss of influence in its former colony, torn apart by decades of a deadly civil war, Russia has turned the country into the laboratory of a new information war. Using education, cinema, and even vodka.
