BBC World Service - Business Daily, Investing in Africa: Russia and the CAR

What is the future of the relationship for the Central African Republic?

For almost a decade, the Central African Republic has seen growing investment and influence from the Russian mercenary group Wagner. It stretches from education and religion to business and military. 

The recent mutiny has led to speculation about what the future of Russia's status in the CAR will be. 

We explore Russia’s role in the CAR, and ask what it means for that country, the continent of Africa and the wider world?

Produced and presented by Peter MacJob, additional production from Zigoto Tchaya Tchameni.
