"The first reports appeared at the end of November. A video shared on social media showed a man recording passports and ID cards found in the desert that belonged to several Colombians."
"Everything indicates that they were part of the approximately 300 mercenaries who have been recruited to fight side by side with the paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)."
"Recruitment is mostly carried out through private security companies, which offer several thousand dollars for short-term work, explains Ulrich Petersohn, an expert on security and mercenary activity."
"These are companies that, on paper, are like any other, but the reality of their operations reveals a much darker narrative involving exploitation and deception for economic gain."
