Globus in Cameroon: The Machine Laundering Russian Narratives

A report published on October 27, 2026, by VIGINUM, France’s service combating foreign digital interference, describes Globus as a front for influence operations benefiting Russia. The report says the network, presented as an “international club of experts,” uses three Cameroonian media outlets—Afrique Média TV, For You Média Africa, and Panafrican Média TV—to spread pro-Russian narratives. The outlets reportedly share presenters, guests, and topics, as well as a sponsor: Globus. The report links the network to Youlia Berg and Andreï Gromov, two Russian influence entrepreneurs from Evgueni Prigojine’s circle.
