The Wagner mercenary group may continue its destabilizing security operations in Africa even after its chief Yevgeny Prigozhin launched — and later abandoned — an uprising against Russia’s military leaders, a White House official said.
“We have no indication that Wagner is decreasing its intent to exploit African countries despite the events of last weekend,” John Kirby, a spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, said in a briefing with reporters on Friday.
