September 2020: NIGER Gives the Sahel Region a Voice on the Council

Niger assumes the Security Council presidency this month, bringing
the voice of Africa’s Sahel region to the body as it and its
neighbors battle terrorism and chronic instability in the region.
On the show, we talk with Ambassador Abdou Abarry about the
country's plans for the Council, especially as the United States
triggers the snapback provision of the Iran nuclear deal, and
Michael Shurkin, an American expert on West Africa for the Rand
Corporation. Links: PassBlue's website: www.passblue.com Twitter:
