schema:text	FACT CHECK: Image Claims To Show Wagner Mercenary With Niger Soldier An image shared on X, the website formerly known as Twitter, claims to show a Wagner Group mercenary with a Niger soldier. The Military Junta in Niger has made contact with the Wagner PMC Group pic.twitter.com/WtmIP27ip3 — Dr Penking™🇳🇬🇦🇺 (@drpenking) August 4, 2023 Verdict: Misleading The image shows a Wagner Group mercenary in the Central African Republic. Fact Check: An analyst claimed that Niger’s junta had asked Wagner Group for help through Mali, according to The Associated Press. Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, has maintained a presence in Mali since 2021, the outlet reported. The tweet claims that the “military junta in Niger has made contact with the Wagner PMC Group” and shares an image of a Wagner mercenary with a soldier. The image implies it shows a Niger soldier with a Wagner mercenary. However, the image does not show a Niger soldier. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the image actually shows a Central African Republic soldier in March 2022. The image was shared on news outlets such as Defense One, identifying the soldier as from the Central African Republic.

Other outlets, such as The Washington Post and The Sunday Times, made the same identification. Fact-checking website Misbar was the first outlet to debunk this image.
