Since 2021, a wave of military coups d’état have upended Africa’s political landscape. The Sahel countries, once a focal point of European engagement in Africa, have come under the control of military juntas aligned with Russia. Amidst an escalating security crisis, there is growing repression and resignation – but also significant public support for strongman dictators. African democracy movements, which not long ago celebrated remarkable successes, have come under pressure.
In this GIGA Forum, our experts discuss the implications for democracy in Africa and for Europe’s foreign policy towards the region.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
