Central African Republic: Russia's Testing Ground | VPRO Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2022
- We travel to one of the poorest countries in the world that has become the hub of a major geopolitical game between Russia and the West.
The Central African Republic is the testing ground for Russia's compelling ambition to take African countries into its sphere of influence and turn them against the West. In exchange for raw materials and diplomatic support in the UN Security Council, Russia supplies mercenaries to keep governments in power, education and disinformation with a Moscow perspective.
Journalist Bram Vermeulen meets Wagner's masked mercenaries and their best customer, the president of the Central African Republic. He hears about their gruesome methods of scorched earth, kidnappings and disappearances. He literally engages in a fight with Vladimir Putin's representative in the Central African Republic during a boxing training session with the Russian consul who dismisses all allegations of human rights violations as fake news.
The Russians are waging a disinformation campaign that is riding on a wave of distaste for former colonizer France, who is accused of disinterest in the fate of Africans and racism. This campaign is being carried out on numerous fronts: social media, university lectures and war films in which Russians are the heroes and Westerners the villains.
Journalists who try to combat the disinformation mysteriously die or are threatened.
On the front lines of Cold War 2.0, Bram Vermeulen sees that the West is losing the battle for Africa.

Reporter is keep trying to push people to say something bad about Russia, but they simply don’t want to.
They are too uneducated to really know the truth
Mmmm i didn’t pick that up but he’s definitely lucky he’s not reporting in Russia. They would not be so understanding of his questions
@@eddiefes3183 there are many journalists in Russia, dummy. None of them is Assange. Fool
What i also noticed is that they keep demonizing Russia who is in Central Africa at the request of the government themselves, while at the same time whitewashing France’s neo-colonialism and exploitation of Africa, and trying to make them look like the white saviours who are there for the sole purpose of educating some poor 3rd world children.. They also had the audacity to lecture Africans about “tolerance”
I'm Muslim and I knew this is west Propaganda, because in other parts of the world we are also fighting Isis even though we are also Muslims
Let us choose what is best and proper. You didn't said anything about how French colonized and abused Africa as a continent through out history.
@15:30 The president wasn't annoyed by the fact you asked questions about the Russians. He was annoyed because that's the ONLY questions you asked. He said to you "don't you have other questions other than about Russians ? I am no afraid to answer ANY questions but why just about the Russians ?"
the journalist sounds very "independent" ,,,🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, because the issue he wanted to address is about Russian Influence in the region. Haven't you read the title, peabrain?

France European and USA never let African countries to develop... Eve thought they have huge minarals resources... It's time for African to works with Russian and Chinese
The French still consider African countries as their colonies. Now Africa has a choice and CAR has made its own choice, Russia..... good for them
Until they learn that Russia is suppling both sides in their civil war with guns and training both sides to use their weapons against each other while Russia steals all their gold and diamonds to finance their war in Ukraine.
This the worst colonial journalism I have ever seen ..So France is the savour and Russia the bad guy..yet France has been there for years but with nothing to show
Yup, people already misjudging the situation and prejudice against the Russians. The truth, there is Rwanda and few other countries in CAR. But France has been there alone for ages, yet CAR with all resources still very very poor and a BIG SHAME!!!
Первая очередь Россия будет строить атомную электростанцию что крайне необходимо для Африки и железную дорогу. Запад не хочет чтобы Африка развивалась, так- как это им не выгодно
The west will soon feel the wrath of Africa because they are joining with Russia the west has tampered with these countries far too long somebody has to put a stop to the west
It's true it's not even a secret today
Africa will align with whoever have it's best interest at heart
True
Именно то, что вы говорите, африканцы поняли, что их бедность вызвана выходцами с Запада. Африка хочет радикальных перемен, поэтому Африка полностью отворачивается от всех западных стран и интересуется Россией, Китаем и всеми развивающимися странами. Африка не боится западников
Russia has no money.
So they will bring in the Chinese.
The french disease has to be uprooted at all cost.France has been the root of all problems in West Africa and it's amazing the way African leaders have woken up and decided to choose new partners who respect them and are ready to walk with them for the benefit of their countries .
Better get ready for the russian disease!

@@vermicelledecheval5219 Rome took more than it gave.
Exactly what you say. Colonization has already ended since 1960 but France continues to claim 15 countries in Africa as hostages. France kills nationalist Presidents like Sankara in Burkina Faso, France kills the Nationalist President of the Central African Republic Boganda, France kills Olympio a Nationalist President of Togo, France kills Idris Deby of Chad etc... It has become unbearable. France steals raw materials from 15 countries, France takes free oil from Gabon and Congo. I mean take the oil for free. How will the 15 African countries be able to develop?
To be honest. Russia has helped to stabilized this country. The problem with French they put geopolitical issues above citizens. Russia first secured the nation and then start geopolitics.
Everywhere you look there are heavily armed soldiers and security forces, that is not a sign of a “stable” country
@@shanetonkin2850 It is not ideal but in a country where people were being massacred on a daily basis that is a kind of stability.
buddy, the AU peace mission there is the lead on that note, russians i believe are just a small part of that whole peacekeeping operation
@@animenation5324 AU mandate does not include fighting armed groups The Rwanda defense force and Russians went to battle them.
The Europeans are the ones who caused this problem. We have to look at the cause of the problem and who the masterminds. If Europeans had stayed in their lands, Africa and the African people would've been fine. Now Africans have taken the European culture which is war, distraction and greed. The European forced his ways upon the Africans.
Blatant slant against Russia which is to be expected from this pseudo-journalist.
Until they learn that Russia is suppling both sides in their civil war with guns and training both sides to use their weapons against each other while Russia steals all their gold and diamonds to finance their war in Ukraine.
Simple, hundreds of years under French dominance and you still poor, I wonder why. Looting, exploiting and enslaving comes to mind.
Maybe you forgot to mention ''Corruption'' , and domination of Africans by other Africans.
I support the Russians for sure, their presence in the CAR has brought much stability
What did you tell ? Don't tell bullshit. You don't live in CAR so please stop. Is not your sister Wagner rape ? If you want worship Russia go ahead but don't speak for everybody
🤣🤣 Ask how that worked for Mozambique.
We Russians are happy to help you in the fight against the colonizers of the West.
I support this as well.
@Renaissance God bless you. We love our Slavic brothers. ☦️
Who is this journalist? Is he from France? Why ask about Russia in Central African Republic? Do a story about France and their atrocities and theft in Africa.
Considering the west's track record, including the Dutch, this is hypocracy on a grand scale.
No, I think you’ll find a far better example of ‘hypocrisy on a grand scale’ is calling out the west for the wrongs of it’s colonial past, while simultaneously engaging in EXACTLY the same sort of behaviour in the present.

@@shanetonkin2850 rubbish logic
@@shanetonkin2850 what exactly does this mean? You're talking about the wars and oppression between black people and nations? Hmmmm I wonder who instigated it, fuels it, supplies and sustains it from its original till now. Look at one example Nigeria, you can extract 50 countries and more. Britain coalesced a bunch of fundamentally different peoples with different cultures and traditions and forcefully amalgamated them into one country then placed many time bombs politically and economically then exited granting them "independence ". The deliberately created turmoil is a gift to people like you a century later to point at Africans and say "they can't govern themselves". Nigerian civil war one side funded by Britain the other side by France. Recent boko haram insurgency it was found France was air dropping arms to the insurgents. The west is determined to prove Africans are inferior to them so they manufacture this inferiority

France turned the CAR into a bloody bandit territory for many years , but Russian forces corrected the situation within one year . The French fled , peace came to the Central African Republic .
Peace is that what you call it... certainly not
@@TetrahedronIX No democracy and gay pride rallies so Russia bad
The French didn't fled, they can still come back to their property and tell the Russians, thanks for the vigil you can now go home.
same way Russia wiped out the existense of ISIS, i think the world is thanking Russia enough for that, as brutal as ISIS was, Russia beat them
You must think all Africans are stupid. Some of us are fully aware of the true situation.
We know our enemies. And it's not Russia or China.
Cry😂😂😂.
Stupid film really, African countries have different countries and government so they can work with any they deemed fit, stop 🛑 that colonial mindset, those days are over deal with it.
There is a big bias in this documentary. You want to paint Russia in a certain light, suits you but if you really want to understand the RCA reality then listen truly to the people instead of trying to push your narrative.

The most interesting part of this video is that Rwanda army can be seen literally everywhere, It's currently the main protector of the government, but this man never mentions them😂 It shows that the audience is mainly european, and would find it hard to cope with the fact that its mainly African armies keeping the peace in the central african republic...not russia.
Exactly man, plus Russians are there mainly to train CAR soldiers, Rwandan soldiers are the majority but hey, we need to make our doc interesting in the west
In the Central African Republic currently there is no Rwandan army. The Rwandans left in June 2021, after 6 months in the Central African Republic
@@yanricochet8251 Rwandan army are in CAR
@@iraguhamarcellin8759 Yes, the Rwandan army is in the Central African Republic as part of the UN mission, MINUSCA, but the Rwandan soldiers we are talking about are not the soldiers of the UN mission. It is a bilateral agreement between President Touadera and President Kagame. This part of the Rwandan army has left since June 2021. In the UN mission, there are almost all the countries of Africa. It's not about these soldiers we're talking about
Touadera is definitely writing CAR history. I do appreciate his courage to hold things and assume his decision. Today Macron is insulting him everytime he has an occasion to, but HE Touadera remains firm in his position. Respect from a Congolese citizen !🙏
Before anyone criticizes Russians presence in this country, it's better to learn about our historical relationship with France first.
Since 1960 year of most African French colonized countries independence, the Central African Republic has been result of coup d'etat and civil wars orchestrated and sponsored by the French oligarchy.
Any president accending on top of this country must be appreciated and liked by the French politicians. It's an African country populated by 99% of men and women with brown and Cafe skin color.
But the Elites occidentals want to keep us under mud to profite their own libido and maniac desire of wealth. Let me clarify something very important here. When I mentioned occidental, I am referring to the political class not the mass population.
French oligarchy wanted and still want major control over resources that remain unexplored. That had created this so called " civil war of 2013" that continue until the term of current president Touadera who was obliged to reach out to the Russians for help. French and others powerful west countries such as England and Belgium, were arming the rebels to attack the elected president Touadera simply because he doesn't accept the idea of being fucked over and over by France. No western country as well the United States didn't respond positively to his S.O.S call despite our " good bilateral diplomatic relationship ".
French president Macron had even asked the United Nation to put embargo on local government simply to stop the president solidifying the country defense to allow the rebels hired to keep and entertain CHAOS in the country while they stealing our resources clandestinely.
Check all french africans countries military and defense equipments. You will realize the tremendous lack. Most of them especially my country don't even have a tank or helicopter for their own territorial self defense in case of any foreign invasion. Those countries must always depend on French military. Cameroon and Senegal can be counted out of the list.
French oligarchy has found a new method to keep up slavery domination using this formula in which none of its colonized countries must not be free military. What country on this earth is really independent or safe if its doesn't have solid army? In my country, soldiers were using woods and their own mouth sound as weapon to train. Who does that? All that is the strategic embargo France had put on us.
That is why, it's easy for them to orchestrated war and sponsored any local opposition party leader to attack the peace of the country to the detriment of France politicians who are principals beneficiaries of our resources.
The mass population understood the game today. Unfortunately, many can't voice out loud enough due to the highest illiteracy level. But president Touadera and few braves educated women and men have decided to rise up and turn toward Russia who is demonstrating its availability to assist the local government to eradicate the rebels that has been blocking the country to take off accordingly. Other than that, if they have others ambitions, who are us to deny them ? Only if our leaders stand on win-win or 50/50 deal.
Wagners or Russians army who cares, we need peace and new diplomatic partners with a win win tangibles projets. China, India, Turkey and Russia presenting themselves so far capable and available.
What does my people in Central African Republic need and want?
First of all, they need peace in all our territorials including borders with neighbors countries. In North with Chad, and Est Soudan, West with Cameroon and South West the both congos. Our borders with Chad and Soudan must be protected by our army ( Faca). Thanks to the Russians, today they are armed with newest gears and equipments. Something that was not never possible under French " invisible " authority over our previous political leaders.
My people need to access to good infrastructures such as good road all over the country. Access to HEALTHCARE which requires construction of hospitals in the capital city as well as others provinces and rural villages. They need access to a descent quality of educational systems. They also need FOOD SELF SUFFICIENCY.
To achieve all of the above, we firstly need peace and that was what the Russians had brought so far.
🔴 Am I saying the Russian military haven't committed atrocious act during their function of fighting the rebels ? No!
Yes, there are consequences to any act. The locals officials who accepted French oligarchy manipulation to bring mercenaries to fight against their legitimate local government, must think also about lives of innocent that were killed and continued to be prosecuted by the coalitions. The French army abused and killed children not too long ago. Nothing has been done about that. So when they pointing out things when they aren't not pleased. But when it's their blunders, we are supposed to take it and shut the fuck up. But when it's other like Russians, with their poors journalists who are working for promotion and paychecks, poor emotional and uneducated people are being interviewed on the matter they don't even understand. Who some of you want to fool? Stop that neocolonialist propaganda.
⛔️ At the end of the day, none of you even Russia is our savior or messiah. We who understand the geopolitics and studied abroad, and at some point embraced your cultural....know how much our resources are needed by you for your survival. We understand that and aren't against the idea of sharing them at all. But first, it must be appreciated and in two ways exchange.
You extract our minerals but help us build up our countries. We are behind in term of equipments reason why Africa is " called " poor continent.
We want to be able to use our resource and transform them into anything that could help put our continent, countries on the map to stop the image of " THIRD WORLD".
In Central African Republic, this is what the people are expecting from anyone who want to deal with us diplomatically.
Also let not forget that our leaders must make a good use of their leadership in order to help the population benefit from the trade. Good governing is a MUST!
The occidentals aren't the cause of our downfall. We got role in this too.

" When a civilization is being attacked from outside, it's because interiorly the civilization is destroyed by the the people within ".
President Touadera must do his part and let the new diplomatic partners do theirs. Look at a good example of Mali 🇲🇱 government 👏!
Well said bro. I'm Malian live in South London West Croydon we had enough of French neo colonialism. Be good slave or you die
Well said👏
Good job Russia, India is with you but please dont colonise Africa, we need to help them to be a strong an independent nation without western hegemony!
"Please" 😂😂😂 dont worry they wont colonised us its take too much time lifes and money. Back in the time for exemple, france fight till 15 years to win against Samory Toure. At the time african was less armed and european was a lot, a big coalition attacking in all front.
Anyway russia or china ll play with us if we still hav bad leader, they are here for them, their country. But colonized today they cant except if african accept it by their self. But i dont think so
Africa is a continent with many nations (54 or so nations). The problem with Africa is that there is not 1 voice, everyone is grabbing from Africa, hardly anyone is putting into Africa without some shady business going on. China has 1 voice, you can not do anything in China that President Xi doesn't approve of, I LOVE THAT. Africa, please become a big country like China and Russia, have 1 leader, great things will follow when you have 1 voice that always puts the nation first. Even if the leader is a dictator, it's better than the status quo that Africa has going on now!!
@@mhairsto24 China is fascist basically. But we are moving towards free market capitalism and the end of free money.
Russia it's too small of an economy to colonise Africa maybe China or America but that still will be very difficult. India doesn't really have an economy to do it as it's a poor country looking after over a billion people
Simping for russia
Из России с любовью ко всем странам которые готовы с нами дружить❤️❤️❤️

The country is beautiful but the government is seriously embarrassing themselves on the world stage.. super power, my ass😂😂😂😂
I think it’s funny that Africans say they hate the white colonists about Russia is also the same talk about uneducated
This guy feels that the French should be the one giving security to the CAR president that is why he keeps asking about the russians. Stop being bias
But the anchor here sounds very pro-French. The French were not a benign country when it comes to Africa. Need proof of it, visit Paris and its museums.
👍
The western media totally ignores that American and European troops are also in Africa. Why single-out Russia?
Propaganda my friend, good ok propaganda
watching this journalist lose his shit was an amazing documentary
That mofo must be an undercover french agent...just ridiculous🙄🙄
This is way all our so call leaders should be talking to Europe evils
👍
Hopefully the French and other western Europeans never come back to Africa after centuries of oppression and exploatation of African resources. Every African nation should make their own path alongside partners like are Russia and China...Wishing peace and prosperity to all African people.
"Centuries" .. more like decades. Approx 1850 to 1960.
Next time put subtitles in another colour so it can be read.
With all the ish the french have done in Central Africa, having the Russians there CANNOT be worse😎😎
This doesn’t make sense, why is all about Russia…? European and their selfish mentality
They're jealous and that's it. We all know China is richer than all former european colonizers combined, and when they implement projects in Africa, give loans that put African countries in a dependent position, Europeans feel really powerless and that what makes them so jealous, that they can't compete. The situation with Russia is even more interesting, because it is also unable to compete with the economic power of China in Africa, but it has something else, the reputation. Russia is an influential European ANTI-COLONIAL power with a rich history of supporting African countries in their struggle for independence. When *** hits a fan, African leaders don't rush to Beijing, they look towards Moscow because Russia has proven to be a reliable partner when it comes to *** and the fan problem.
Mr journalist u need to learn more how respect people 👏
Russia does not start a war.
She finishes them.
From what i watched the CAR peoples aspire to live in- peace above anything else, so they hired a group who can deliver their aspiration. And they seem pretty happy with the wagnor's. I understand why the French are Ranting(It seems their days of exploitation gloaming). I want to reiterate what the President said 'You don't complain about the color of the water, when your house is burning and your neighbor is trying to put out the fire'. Good job Russian's.
You’ve been watching too much Kremlin and CCP propaganda. I can’t blame people for hating the western imperial history in Africa but that is the past the Wagner group/ The Kremlin are just a new form of this old practice. The Che Guevara shirt on the Russian guy means nothing to you? Che was a sadistic mass murderer ideologue this guy is exalting that sick man. I urge you to find truth about who Russia and China really are how their own citizens are jailed and tortured if they speak out against the totalitarian actions of their government. This is what happens with autocrats. Everyone who doesn’t fall in line is against me, therefore I should be able to imprison or kill them. That’s what you’re cheering for
That is so true.
The president seemed genuinely agrieved, the concerns of others are not aligned with his, others think geopolitics he cares about some peace and stability
As an indigenous person in my country whose people were, and still are colonised, but by the British, I can kind of appreciate the sentiment coming from some of the CAR people... "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" comes to mind 🤔 💭

French colonised this country and asking why are russians are here😂
Nothing wrong with Russians in Africa,we welcome everyone.
I am glad it is not just the Russians, Rwanda and Burundi are there, and Rwanda has proven to be a pan-african country that is ready and willing to help fellow africans. Media always has ways of spinning the story, the Russians are not colonising CAR and it is not possible. The only thing I can hope for CAR leaders is to have a specific and well defined mandate for all these countries participating in stabilizing the country not just the Russians, these countries should not stay there too long, they have to train the local and GET THE HELL OUT, even for my country we should not stay there too long. CAR people need to be independent and look after the country eventually.
Kuhaguma its better. We're getting paid, and it's better to also build there a military base in the longterm. In the long run, it's in rwanda's interest to continue being needed around the continent.
it’s beginning ,, and once they become insiders ,, only then realization comes the other side of the coin is almost same ,,,all that to stay in power
DRC is the richest country in term of natural resources yet they leave in poverty if Russia can help so better the french to leave them alone
United African stand onw United 😊

Why are Total Petrol stations adorned with the word " bienvenue" in South Africa ?Why are the SA passports written in French? Is French the 12th official language of South Africa?Answer,French imperialists lovers
"SA passports written in French" is that so, and are there other languages in the passport? I can see no reason why South Africans would be lovers of France.. Is there a reason? Sounds crazy! But we have a similar problem in Europe. More and more English keeps creeping in everywhere. F*ck the Anglo American Empire.
That wasn’t a threat, he was most likely charmed by your presence like the African leader.
