Philip Obaji Jr. is a 2025 ICFJ Knight International Journalism Award winner.
Obaji Jr. is the foremost journalist reporting for international audiences on massacres, rape, torture and other abuses at the hands of Russian paramilitaries in Central and West Africa. The government-contracted forces are fighting rebels in exchange for access to minerals and other commodities – in part to help fund Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Since 2018, the Nigerian journalist has documented as many as 100 instances of abuse by the Wagner Group and its successor, Africa Corps, primarily in the Central African Republic (CAR) and Mali. Obaji has interviewed dozens of survivors on the ground in refugee camps, mining villages and elsewhere – reporting that requires great care and that has led to him being abducted and assaulted.
