The specter of a shadowy paramilitary force haunts the fringes of warzones around the globe. Known as the Groupe Wagner, this enigmatic outfit, shrouded in secrecy and controversy, has emerged as a potent symbol of ruthless efficiency and geopolitical intrigue. Founded in the murky underworld of 2014, Wagner's exact origins and allegiances remain ambiguous. Some whisper of ties to the highest echelons of Russian power, while others paint them as a rogue mercenary outfit, a ghost army for hire. But one thing is certain: their shadowy operatives, often recruited from elite military ranks, have left an indelible mark on battlefields from Ukraine to Syria, Libya to the Central African Republic.
