In 2023, the Sahel continued to grapple with multifaceted conflicts as various putschist factions, rebel movements, and jihadist groups challenged state authority. Going into 2024, the prospects are uncertain, @ConstantinGouvy and @GCDEllis say.

What makes the #Niger #coup so different from the others in the #Sahel & what are the consequences?
@YGuichaoua & I reflect on this & argue that:
1) No simple narrative can explain the coup
2) War is on the table
3) International stakes are high

One dynamic that researchers of armed groups in the #Sahel (and possibly LCB) aren't thinking about enough is the politics of food. #Farabougou in #Mali was blockaded by JNIM as a punitive and disciplinary measure against villagers. 1/n
