Russian mercenaries accused of atrocities in the Central African Republic

CNN has uncovered disturbing evidence of human rights atrocities by Russian mercenaries in the Central African Republic. CNN's Clarissa Ward and her team were denied entry to the country because of CNN's previous reporting on the activities of the mercenaries. But working with local journalists and an independent investigative group The Sentry, CNN has assembled evidence of a pattern of abuses, which one UN expert says may amount to war crimes.

    1. @Real American Tour-ism sounds a lot like terror-ism, perhaps that’s the confusion?
      “It looked like a bunch of normal terrorists at Disneyland on J6”
      Nobody ever said GQP politicians were smart, just sneaky

    2. That’s because mercenaries and contractors are not the same thing….. The US hires ex military members who seek out private training from companies like thunder ranch, who go into war zones on contract. That’s not the same as a mercenary. Mercenaries would be like if the US were in Afghanistan, and were hiring locals, arming them and paying them to fight with them.

    3. @Shady If you are from a smaller community, go ask your local sheriff how many of his men have become ‘contractors’. Probation and parole officers are recruited as are all LEOs, now in the police forces or not. My point is, when they talk to each other about it, they don’t use the term “contractor” they say Merc. The “defense contractors” here actively recruit on military bases without much interference.

    4. The good thing about the russian “Wagner Group” is that the US is free to kill them without the fear of russian retaliation. In 2018 during an american airstrike in Syria american bombers have killed something between 100 and 200 russian mercenaries.

    5. @Harry Johnstone Yeah you’re just flat out wrong about that, I know people who were with black water in Falluja. Go look up Mookie, he’s talked about this exact topic. He has a YouTube channel. They never refer to themselves as mercenaries. Unless they’re talking to somebody who isn’t familiar with black water, in that case they might use the word mercenary because contractor could mean anything.

    1. @Parslow Pongbert Ok, truth teller, and how many years did you serve in Russian so bad and scary marine services?) Which unit?)

    2. @Freedom Fighter A little heavy handed on the liberal outlook, but somewhat right. But this is how the left professors teach their classes – based on some fact but colored to make all CIA operations bad and of course bias opinioned against the right. They say just enough truth so that you cannot find facts to offset their bias.

    3. @Parslow Pongbert Yep the typical CNN commenter. One or two facts with a liberal dose of attacks against Trump. Well done sir. CNN will see that you get your three dollars for that little propaganda piece.

    5. @Dj S Honey, you really need to come to Russia to see what civilization looks like. Tell me, when was the last time your dentist or any specialist scheduled you the same day you called?))) You don’t even have free medicine, you don’t have free kindergartens, your cops choke anyone who went out to buy a pack of cigarettes because he doesn’t like blacks. That’s all about being American citizen – any cop can kill you any time he wants. So don’t even start about 3rd world, ok?)

    1. Inchalah Russia and China going to wipe you from this planet 🌎. Long live China we Muslims love China 🇨🇳 death to United snakes and it’s SHpeople.

    2. China killed 3-million people all over the world with it’s virus. Why don’t you criticize China? Because you are a communist?😷

    3. @Wuhan Institute Of Virology No dummie. FACTS are the Russians are pulling the strings and China is following. China literally has ZERO means that can touch the US.

  1. This is news because Western mercenaries lost out on the cobtracts, simple as that. US, British and South African mercenaries have been wreaking havoc on Africa for decades!

    2. Sometimes I wonder: Will God ever forgive us what we’ve done to each other? Then I look around and I realize…. God left this place a long time ago.

    3. Did you know there were two recent mass shootings?

      One in Austin and the other in Alabama.

      I wonder why CNN isn’t reporting on it?

  2. These guys are operating like the American company Blackwater but unlike them Russia has a historic long-standing policy using contractors like these men going all the way back to the beginning of the empire. Without men like these they would have never gotten the size that they have.

  3. Africa as a whole continent needs to get rid of these foreigners who are causing so much trouble….

  4. It’s too bad executive outcome still doesn’t exist. They could have prevented something like this

  5. they should praise themselves lucky that it’s not the american army at work ! Nobody does atrocities like america !!

  6. Yoohoo, CNN. Mercs are for hire and not beholden to any government, including their own. They represent the interests of those who hire them. Who hired them? That’s all that matters.

  7. “Mineral rich country”….now we all know the reason. Same with the chinese trapping other african countries into “loans for land” and america in the middle east for oil

    1. All the nations of the world are mineral rich. Some nations allow Christians to find them and some don’t

  8. Sometimes I wonder: Will God ever forgive us what we’ve done to each other? Then I look around and I realize…. God left this place a long time ago
