On July 26, 2023, the West African country of Niger fell to a coup d'etat along with its neighbors of Mali and Burkina Faso. This is a very fascinating part of the world, and holds a ton of geopolitical consequences here. In this video, I try to answer your questions about what's going on in West Africa, and what it will mean for our larger geopolitical world.
