Don't they have significant forces in Africa still?

I heard a BBC news story on the Podcast last week that was talking about an African nation, can't remember which one. What struck me was that the nation's military is that crap that Wagner are basically it, and in return they have interests in the Gold and Diamonds that come out of the country.

What was described was whole areas of the country run by Islamist groups and warlords. The military has failed in their battles with these warlords and the rulers are relying on Wagner for their own security.

But now they have lost the 6 most important people in their management, not only the spokesperson

Did Wagner have something to do with those poisonings in UK some years back?
