Wagner in central african republic: legal or illegal group? ambassador bikantov challenged

Wagner in Central African Republic: Legal or Illegal Group? Ambassador Bikantov Challenged  Russian ambassador faces a logical contradiction. Wagner kills, tortures, and loots without legal status. Is that legal or illegal, Mr. Bikantov? In a February 2026 interview, Russian Ambassador Alexander Bikantov proudly spoke of an “armed struggle against remnants of illegal military groups” waged by “Russian representatives” in the Central African Republic. He described the “defeat of illegal armed groups” as a major Russian victory. Simple question, Mr. Ambassador: Is Wagner a legal or illegal armed group? By every definition of international law, Wagner fits every criterion of an illegal armed group.

Burkina Faso cuts diplomatic ties with France, AES now united against Paris

On Friday, June 26, 2026, Burkina Faso abruptly ended its diplomatic relations with France.

Ouagadougou accuses Paris of repeated interference, neocolonial ambitions, and backing networks it considers hostile to Burkina Faso. French authorities reject the allegations, calling the decision “hostile and baseless.” The move does not come out of the blue. Since the September 2022 coup, relations have soured step by step. In January 2023, Burkina Faso demanded the withdrawal of French special forces deployed under Operation Sabre. Later, several French medi...
