The Wagner Group and Africa Corps have been actively involved in various African countries, and their potential deployment to Togo or another African country before January 1, 2026, is uncertain. However, we can look at their past activities to gauge the likelihood.
The Wagner Group has operated in several African countries, including the Central African Republic, Sudan, Libya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mozambique ¹. After the death of their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in 2023, much of Wagner Group operations and personnel in Africa were folded into Russia's Ministry of Defense under the newly-created Africa Corps ².
Africa Corps has already been deployed to multiple countries, including Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Libya ². Their involvement in these countries has raised concerns about Russia's growing influence in Africa and potential human rights abuses.
Considering their existing presence in several African countries, it's possible that Wagner Group or Africa Corps might deploy to additional countries. Togo, being a strategic location in West Africa, could potentially be a target for their expansion.
*Countries with existing Wagner Group or Africa Corps presence:*
- _Central African Republic_: Wagner Group has been involved in training government forces and providing security services ¹.
- _Sudan_: Wagner Group has been linked to gold and diamond mining, as well as supporting the Sudanese military ¹.
- _Libya_: Africa Corps has been deployed to support the Libyan government ².
- _Mali_, _Burkina Faso_, and _Niger_: Africa Corps has been deployed to these countries to support local governments ².
While there's no concrete evidence of an imminent deployment to Togo or another African country, the Wagner Group and Africa Corps' history suggests they might continue expanding their influence in the region.

China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army, has increased the scale and sophistication of its military drills around Taiwan in recent years, honing its combat capabilities. As the prospect of gaining control of Taiwan peacefully becomes more remote, with Taiwanese identity rising and Taiwanese interest in unifying with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) declining, China could conclude that using force is the only way to achieve its political objectives.
