In this episode, we sat down with Sofia Ena to unpack the leadership of General Abdourahmane Tchiani one year after his coup in Niger. We explore how the junta’s pivot away from Western alliances — and withdrawal from ECOWAS — has deepened insecurity, fueled economic turmoil, and reshaped the region’s geopolitical landscape. From the rise in jihadist attacks and Niger’s growing ties with Russia, to the emergence of new regional players like Morocco, we examine the consequences of Tchiani’s decisions and what they mean for Niger, the Sahel, and power dynamics in West Africa.
