Worsening crisis in Niger: factors in play and impact on the region
Description
August 1, 2023

The overthrowing of President Mohamed Bazoum is backed by three other West African nations also ruled by mutinous soldiers. Miranda Anthistle speaks with Leeds Beckett University Political Scientist Olayinka Ajala who provides more insight into the catalyst for the coup and the implications this has for Niger and the surrounding region.
