Mali, CAR Watch With Concern As Wagner Mutiny Unfolds In Russia

The Russian capital and the regions of Rostov, which borders Ukraine, and Lipetsk announced on Saturday that they were stepping up their security arrangements after the head of Russian paramilitary group, Wagner, accused the Russian army of shelling his fighters.

On Friday, Yevgeny Prigozhin said he had ordered to march on the Russian defence ministry and appealed to government soldiers to join the uprising.

On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin called Wagner’s uprising a ‘stab in the back’, calling for unity.
