Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly published his first recruitment video for the Wagner Group since organising a short-lived mutiny against defence officials in Russia.
Prigozhin had moved into the global spotlight in June with a dramatic, short-lived rebellion that posed the most serious threat to President Vladimir Putin of the Russian leader’s 23-year rule.
In the video, which was posted Monday on Telegram messaging app channels which are believed to be affiliated with Prigozhin, a person who appears to be the 62-year-old mercenary leader says the Wagner Group is conducting recon and search activities, and “making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even more free”.
The person who appears to be Prigozhin in the video also says Wagner is, "giving Isis, al-Qaeda and other gangsters hell" in temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius.
Yevgeny Prigozhin and his mercenaries seized a military HQ and began marching toward Moscow but called off their mutiny after a few hours. Prigozhin was later killed in an airplane crash, while Wagner has been all but disbanded.

In a startling discovery, five large bombs were found concealed within the walls of the historic al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, a relic of ISIL’s (ISIS’s) brutal reign over the region. This finding highlights the ongoing challenges faced in clearing explosives and rebuilding war-torn areas of Iraq.
The al-Nuri Mosque, renowned for its 12th-century leaning minaret, was devastated by ISIL in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul. The mosque has been a key focus of the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO’s restoration efforts since 2020. On Tuesday, UNESCO announced the discovery of five large-scale explosive devices hidden inside the southern wall of the Prayer Hall.
