Description

The Sahel is now the deadliest region in Africa. In this episode of DémoCrise, we speak with Dr. Daniel Eizenga, Research Fellow at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, based in Washington, to unpack the growing threat of violent extremist groups like JNIM and ISGS.

Who are these armed groups? What are their goals? How are they expanding south toward coastal countries like Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ghana? And how are military regimes responding?

This episode offers a clear and critical look at the actors, strategies, and risks of the Sahel crisis—at a time when silence and misinformation dominate.
