This is a sideline project from my actual day job, the idea is to focus on the largely unreported events primarily in the Sahel but also covering other countries in North Africa.
I am occasionally offline, I do occasionally miss events (tips are welcome via DM).
Questions are ALWAYS welcome.

"Epstein & Barak’s private deal-making evolved seamlessly into an official security agreement between Israel & Côte d’Ivoire in 2014. Since the agreement, President Alassane Ouattara has tightened his grip on power, banning public demonstrations & arresting peaceful protestors.
