Wagner are also operating in the Central African Republic and they were or are Operating in Mozambique and Sudan. I think that it's actually a fairly effective, low cost and low accountability method of projecting power. The problem with traditional military interventions is that they of course cost so much and if anybody is killed the operation can start to be scrutinised in the home country but Mercenaries don't require any of the expensive logistics and support of a traditional army and if they die well they were not part of the military they are just citizens doing their own thing of their own volition. Maybe France should establish such a mercenary force.

Interestingly Rwanda has also been sending armed forces around Africa to put down militant groups as well, they are on track to become a superpower before India and Brazil at this point.
