Episode 237: All Wagner, All the Time

Today, Morgan, Jamil, and Les discuss the future of the Wagner group in Africa after Wagner Group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, attempted a coup in Russia over the weekend. Libya, Sudan, Mali, and the Central African Republic, all rely on Wagner forces to fight back insurgents. With few alternatives to protect governments in these countries, an absence of the Wagner group would be destabilizing. 

What is the future of the Wagner group? Will the Wagner Group go on hiatus? How dependent are African leaders on Wagner forces? Should the US take this opportunity to provide security and defense to African governments?
