The world has responded with stunning cynicism to the wave of coups
d’etat across Central Africa – either ignoring the violence,
suffering and the rise of military strongmen, or exploiting it for
their own ends. From Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso to the bloody
civil war and mass displacement in Sudan, Oz Katerji finds that the
Sahel region isn’t only threatened by war, drought and Islamist
terror. The “Africa Corps” wing of Russia’s Wagner paramilitaries
are vying with the Gulf States for power, influence and Africa’s
resources. Where did it go wrong for democracy in Africa – and is
there any way to fix this delicate region? With the Sudanese
journalist Dallia Abdelmoniem and Dr Ebenezer Obadare, Senior
Fellow for Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in
Washington DC. Support This Is Not A Drill on Patreon to get
