Now that the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is retreating to Belarus, many military experts are saying that the mutiny marks the end of the paramilitary organization as we know it. But if that’s the case, what does that mean for the more than 20 countries around the world where the Wagner Group is believed to have a presence — including in Sudan, Libya, the Central African Republic and Mali?

Excerpted from Peter’s June 24 “Zeihan on Geopolitics” newsletter:
