Last week’s coup in Niger is the latest in a string of recent
military takeovers in Africa—seemingly the final domino to fall in
a region plagued by instability and the battle between Russia and
the West for influence in the Sahel. Coup leaders are now facing an
ultimatum from the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS) to reinstate democratically elected President Mohamed
Bazoum or face the consequences including possible military
intervention. On this week’s bonus episode, Julia Macfarlane asks
her co-host Sir Richard Dearlove what he’s hearing from the French
intelligence community about what’s behind the rebellion and if
there’s any truth to reports about the Kremlin’s involvement.
