Challenges and Opportunities in West Africa with Maman Sidikou and Will Meeker

On this episode of ‘By the People’, we discuss the challenges and opportunities facing West Africa – a key strategic region on the Continent. We drill down on some of the political situation in Senegal – which recently experienced some high drama when the president decreed that the upcoming general election would not take place as scheduled, only to be overruled by the country’s Supreme Court. We also explore the latest developments in Niger – which was rocked by a military coup last summer – and in the Sahel region.
