A year ago today, the head of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group died in a plane crash. This was just a couple of months after Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close associate of President Vladimir Putin, led his forces in a mutiny against Russian military leaders. Data published this week by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) found that the Wagner Group's activity in Africa has doubled since his death. The World's Host Carolyn Beeler hears more about the group's rebranding work from ACLED's Ladd Serwat.
