The Africa Corps (Russian: Африканский корпус, romanized: Afrikanskiy korpus), also called Russian Expeditionary Corps (REK), is a Russian paramilitary group controlled and managed by the Russian government, to support Russian political influence and Russia-aligned governments in Africa. The Corps largely took over the operations of the Wagner Group PMC in Africa, by subsuming and rebranding its structures.
