    Nigeria: Beyond Trump's Narrative, Who's Really Targeted Nigeria violence?

    In less than five minute, Arezki Daoud explains why violence in Nigeria cannot be understood through a single religious lens. Christians are targeted, but so are Muslims and many other communities facing insurgency, criminal gangs, and local conflicts. The video provides a factual, balanced context to counter political oversimplifications.#Nigeria #Security #Africa #Geopolitics #Insurgency #Violence #NigeriaNews #Analysis #DavidDaoud #ComplianceStandards #ChristianMuslimRelations #ContextMatters #Flashpoint #ArezkiDaoud

    In this episode of Flashpoint, we go beyond the headlines to explore Russia’s quiet shift from Wagner to the Africa Corps in Mali. Under pressure from Algeria, Moscow is phasing out mercenaries in favor of a state-run military presence — a move that is raising alarm among Tuareg leaders in the north.We break down how Algeria influenced this transition, what Wagner's legacy leaves behind, and why Tuareg commanders are now cautiously engaging with jihadist groups like GSIM.

    Is Morocco Quietly Preparing for Royal Succession?

    With Morocco's King Mohammed VI facing health issues, the topic of royal succession has come to the forefront.

    The US Africa Policy: Don't Expect Anything New

    U.S. administrations, whether Republican or Democrat, have historically shown limited focus on Africa, prioritizing counterterrorism over development. With recent geopolitical shifts, some are calling for a more balanced approach, emphasizing stability and economic growth over military presence.

  7. Mali: The Failing Campaign of Wagner in Mali Presages Trouble for the Junta in Bamako

    Mali: The Failing Campaign of Wagner in Mali Presages Trouble for the Junta in Bamako

    There have been more chatter and speculations about the activities of Russia’s mercenaries, formerly known as the Wagner Group, now reportedly called the Afrika Corps in the Sahel. It is unclear if the name “Afrika Corps” is official, but if so, it certainly confirms that the Russian outfit’s primary focus is indeed on Africa, likely as an arm of Moscow’s Africa policy. For the purpose of this analysis, I will continue using the name Wagner. The Wagner gang is active in many Sahelian regions. We have been hearing that a number of its mercenaries withdrew from Burkina Faso to go back to Russia to counter the ongoing Ukrainian offensive.

    Libya: As Crises Pile, Libya has no Clear Path to Stability

    Libya is back in the news again, and it is not good news. At the center of it all, once again, are the two types of power struggles we are witnessing.
