Why not just have the acronym in full: 'Russian Internet Research Agency' to reduce ambiguity? Since us British folk know the historical associations of both RIRA and The IRA.

But yes, at first the title did look like that the IRA somehow expanded to Ghana. Which would be completely bizarre of them.

RIRA can also refer to Real IRA, but is much less likely to lead to confusion with the actual IRA.
