Prigozhin in Africa to recruit soldiers: Will make life a nightmare
Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has not been seen since a short video clip of him was published in connection with the uprising against the Kremlin at the end of June, writes Reuters.
But on Monday, there was finally a sign of life from the 62-year-old. And that in a completely different place than Belarus, where he was believed to be.
In front of a camera, wearing camouflage clothing and holding a rifle, Prigozhin is seen talking about a new mission.
- It's fifty degrees, everything is as we want. The Wagner group makes Russia better on all continents. And Africa more free, says Prigozhin who is apparently in Africa.
In the clip, Prigozhin says that Wagner should work to make life a nightmare for IS, al-Qaeda and "other bandits".
It has long been known that Russia has great interests in Africa and is trying to create alliances in the continent. Among other things, the country supports the military junta in Niger, which at the end of July overthrew the country's democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum.

Trump
Sources: Trump accepts $200,000 bail
Former President Donald Trump has agreed to a bail of $200,000 and other conditions of release, CNN reports. This after his attorneys met with Fulton County prosecutors on Monday, according to court documents reviewed by CNN.
One of the conditions of release is that Trump cannot use social media.
"The defendant shall not take any action to intimidate anyone known to him as a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," the document signed by Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee states.
Trump is also prohibited from communicating "directly or indirectly" with any of his co-defendants or witnesses in the case.
The indictment is about allegations of trying to influence the outcome of the 2020 Georgia election.
Several protests have been held against the plans in Japan TT
The climate threat The Fukushima accident
Japan wants to dump water from Fukushima into the sea
Japan's government will decide on Tuesday whether to release potentially radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean, according to AFP.
The water – 1.34 million cubic meters – has been used to cool three damaged reactors in the Fukushima nuclear power plant. It is said to be filtered for all harmful substances except tritium.
According to Fukushima's operators, the plant's 1,000 steel tanks are full and therefore they want permission to gradually release the water into the sea - something the public has protested against in both Japan and South Korea.
- There is no way that a release of this water would benefit us, says fisherman Haruo Ono, to AFP.
China has officially accused Japan of treating the ocean as its sewer, and Hong Kong is threatening to impose sanctions on Japanese seafood products.
UN operators said in July that a release of the water would have a "negligible radiological impact on people and the environment".
