36. Sahel-exit, NLC betrayal, and #RutoMustGo

In this episode we discuss a few recent political developments across Africa, their budding effects and their possible outcomes.

How might we assess the fate of ECOWAS and West Africa’s international relations in light of the rise of the Alliance for Sahelian States (AES— or ASS depending who you ask)? What do we know about the recent #FinanceBill and #RutoMustGo protests in Kenya? What have they learned from #EndSARS? And why does the Nigerian Labour Congress NLC always seem to drop the ball at the most crucial moments? You’ll find these and more questions (and even some answers…) if you listen to the full episode.
