This makes me wonder suddenly who runs The Wagner Group now. I'm assuming it wasn't disbanded, and they've been active in DRC.

This story just keeps getting weirder.
I'm sure Congo has many beautiful areas and a rich culture but but as an American, you don't just "take a vacation" to the Congo. DRC has a level 3 travel advisory from the state department (level 4 is DO NOT TRAVEL), when you apply for a visa you are briefed in all the risks you are taking in such an unstable region. What an odd selection of goons if that's what they indeed were hired for.
