A BBC investigation has revealed the scale of operations by a shadowy Russian mercenary group in Libya's civil war, which includes links to war crimes and the Russian military.

A Samsung tablet left by a fighter for the Wagner group exposes its key role - as well as traceable fighter codenames.

And the BBC has a "shopping list" for state-of-the-art military equipment which expert witnesses say could only have come from Russian army supplies.

Russia denies any links to Wagner.

The group was first identified in 2014 when it was backing pro-Russian separatists in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Since then, it has been involved in regions including Syria, Mozambique, Sudan, and the Central African Republic.

1. Russia isn't the only nation with private military groups working outside governments to keep up the

crisis in the Middle East. ISIS is very likely a name for privately funded outside organizations stirring up the trouble and blaming it on cultural and religious and nationalistic operators. There is big money behind it. The goal is of course private control of energy and any other valuable resources including farmland and water rights.

Here is a story about the Yazidi in Iraq, they are being cleared from their lands and soon those lands will be privately owned then exploited by multinational corporations.

Funded by the global cabal of, "no government," libertarian billionaires who want no government that represents any form of democracy.
