government circles? i hope so but ultimately what happens today - ultimately what happens today doesn't, because the wagner network have been operating in africa since when he 14, they are putin �*s war dogs. putin set up the wagner network, he uses russian armed forces to fly to syria for example, he provides the uniform, their guns. they are his political tool. they are to where they for him to be allowed to be shut down. and if you look at the africa russia summit that took place a few weeks ago, it was easy to see the gi. you, being introduced at meetings to african leaders. maybe he will be the person who takes over prigozhin �*s number, there is no way putin is going to allow all that wealth because that's the deal that wagner network does with african leaders or leaders who want to hold onto power, we will give you guns, weapons, psi ops, information operations, political election rigging, in return we get your gold, your minerals. it looks like he is now lined up everything he needed to take that over, which has allowed him or somebody in the security operations in russia to take a prigozhin. i security operations in russia to take a prigozhin.— security operations in russia to take a prigozhin. i asked one of our earlier as take a prigozhin. i asked one of our earlier gas about _ take a prigozhin. i asked one of our earlier gas about the _ take a prigozhin. i asked one of our earlier gas about the timing, - earlier gas about the timing, because obviously this brics summit is happening. going on outside groups to stay out of internal matters, it was partly directed on what is going on in niger. but i wonder how that is played on the minds of people in the kremlin. look, we don't know why the action has been taken out, we also don't know if this is definitely putin initiated. it benefits putin, it's what he would've wanted, but ultimately to give him deniability the security operators around him have made the decision to take out prigozhin. but ultimately it does benefit him. i think in terms of timing for brics it's actually unhelpful for timing for brics it's actually unhelpfulfor putin, timing for brics it's actually unhelpful for putin, specifically now there will be more questions. prigozhin developed significant personal relations with african leaders, it was him who is personally opening the door in africa for russia. it's interesting to see how this is progressing, putin �*s focus will continue to be securing the excess of influence and africa. ., , ., ., ,, africa. the goal that you talked about, africa. the goal that you talked about. that _ africa. the goal that you talked about, that financial _ africa. the goal that you talked about, that financial flow -
