introduction
Russia's domestic and foreign policy has been in the spotlight, and recently President Putin signed an important order dealing with the Wagner Group, a private military force that has been active for years in Africa and the Middle East. This article will explore the background, motivations, and possible implications of Putin's order to deal with Wagner. At the same time, we will delve into Prigozhin's large gold mines in Africa and how the Russian army swallowed this rich resource in one gulp in this strategic move.
The rise of the Wagner Organization
The Wagner Organization is a privately funded military force that has long been active in Africa and the Middle East. Members of this group swear allegiance, its mission is to "uphold the spirit and morality of Russia" and must obey the directives of Russia's top leadership. The Russian Ministry of Defense decided to entrust the organization's operations to contractors in order to have full control over Wagner's operations. President Putin's order aims to strengthen monitoring and control of the Wagner organization, ensuring that it no longer has the ability to operate independently and must obey the orders of the Russian Defense Ministry.
Prigozhin's Great Gold Mine in Africa: a new strategic asset for the Russian army
A particularly striking aspect of Wagner's business is their large gold mines in Africa. This gold mine is located in the Central African Republic, and the Wagner Organization operated for five full years. However, with President Putin ordering the handling of the Wagner organization, the management of the gold mine may pass into the hands of the Russian government. This decision marks a new strategic move by the Russian army in the African region to acquire important resource assets. Let's take a closer look at the implications of this move.
Challenges and opportunities: Putin's decisions
Dealing with Wagner is not just a policy decision, it is fraught with challenges and opportunities. First, the Russian government needs to work to ensure that the implementation of this decision goes smoothly. In Africa, in particular, Wagner has about 2,000 members who once operated independently and now obey the dictates of the Russian Defense Ministry. This can lead to a series of internal problems and revolts.
Another challenge is related to the Wagner Organization in Belarus. These members fought together with the Russian army in Belarus and were stronger. The Russian government may need to take a cautious approach and wait and see their actions and their influence in the region. Addressing this issue requires balancing the interests of all parties and stabilizing the situation.
Putin's Strategic Considerations: National Security and International Standing
Putin's order to deal with the Wagner organization has profound strategic considerations behind it. First, the decision aims to increase Russia's geopolitical influence in Africa and the Middle East. By controlling the Wagner organization, Russia can better participate in the affairs of these regions and maintain the country's security and stability.
Second, Putin's decisions could help improve Russia's international image. The activities of PMOs are often questioned and criticized by the international community, so bringing Wagner under the control of the Ministry of Defense could create a more formal and transparent image for Russia.
Conclusion: Putin's bold strategic move
Putin's order to deal with the Wagner organization and bring it under the control of the Russian Defense Ministry marks a new strategic move for Russia. This decision is not only about the future of Wagner, but also about Africa's large gold resources. Faced with challenges and opportunities, the Russian government must carefully but vigorously implement this decision in order to preserve the country's security and international standing. The success of this initiative will have a profound impact on Russia's geopolitical position and shape Russia's image on the international stage. Therefore, Putin's bold strategic move deserves close attention and analysis.
