Description
Political upheaval in and around Africa’s Sahel region threatens international efforts to accelerate shared prosperity and lasting peace in the Sahel countries and the region at-large. In the last three years, seven coups–military and constitutional–have pushed out elected leaders in Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Niger, Gabon, Chad, and Sudan. Domestic divisions in these countries are compounded by a divided response internationally. In general, Western powers have supported the democratically-elected governments whereas other big players like Russia work to capitalize on the region’s instability.
Join us on October 24th at 12pm PT for a virtual conversation with Ambassador (ret.) Michelle Gavin, the Ralph Bunce senior fellow for African Policy Studies and Jendayi Frazer, adjunct senior fellow for Africa Studies both at the Council on Foreign Relations as we look at the root causes for these upheavals and the prospects for peace and prosperity in this important region.
