After military regimes in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso drove out Western troops, Russia is exploiting the resulting power vacuum for its geopolitical advance. The Sahel region – once a place of flourishing trade and culture – is now characterised by terror, repression and power struggles. This hard-hitting investigative documentary – filmed under life-threatening conditions – gives voice to those who dare to speak out. Their testimonies reveal the hidden mechanisms behind Russia’s rise in the region and the consequences for those caught in the crossfire.
