Episode description
West African leaders have imposed sanctions on Mali’s military government. They have been calling for a return to civilian rule since a military coup in 2020. Mali has experienced a second coup since then. And elections which were planned for February are now facing a lengthy delay. Mali’s leaders have called the sanctions illegal. But will the measures encourage them to bring forward the elections? And what does it all mean for people in Mali?
