November 2021

With Dr. Mo Ibrahim, we talk about the coup in Sudan, corrupt militaries, Chinese investment in the African continent, and a world that threatens to drown in authoritarianism before global warming can dry it up. Dr. Olumide Abimbola of the Africa Policy Research Institute (APRI) also gives us a forecast on the future of German-African relations.
