A crisis in Africa is supercharging the Far Right in Europe
– and Russian mercenaries are fighting to make it worse. After
Western interventions drove the failing states of the Sahel region
into ruin, extremists from Islamic State to Boko Haram stepped into
the power vacuum. Civil wars and climate change rendering vast
areas of the Sahel uninhabitable have created a refugee crisis
which European demagogues can feast upon. And now Putin’s proxies
are involved. Arthur Snell finds out how the misery of the Sahel
people is generating hard right policy in Britain, neo-fascism in
Italy… and a dangerous spin in the global destabilisation
game. Support Doomsday Watch on Patreon and get every episode a

“This is a region on Europe’s borders in deep crisis – and most
people know nothing about it.” – Arthur Snell “What the radical
right populists did in Britain was scare the Conservatives so much
over immigration that the Tories shifted right.”– Tarik
Abou-Chadi “The beneficiaries are the far right politicians in
Europe and the cynical opportunists in Moscow.” – Arthur Snell “One
thing you learn quickly is that pressures on one part Europe’s
borders rapidly become pressures on other parts.” – Alex
