"Nowadays, mercenaries are being replaced by the digital and with the complicities of our governments...." -- Dr Emery Patrick EFFIBOLEY
If only Africans know how much money their governments are paying to "digital mercenaries" or digital/cyber-combatants from Russia, Ukraine and other former East Bloc countries, China, Turkey, etc., to dominate cyberspace and the digital sphere on their behalf. Many of these digital combatants actually live among ordinary folk in our cities and neighborhoods. It's not just elections anymore; this war is being fought in every nook and cranny of our lives.
