The death of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin will test the resilience of operations by thousands of mercenaries active in Africa’s Sahel region.

Wagner has a decentralised command on the continent where it provides security for some African leaders in exchange for mineral and other strategic economic and military concessions.
