Mirjam de Bruijn in podcast Bureau Buitenland about instability Sahel region

Mirjam de Bruijn was interviewed in a Bureau Buitenland podcast about instability in the Sahel region after the major jihadist attacks in Mali. In neighbouring Burkina Faso, the anti-Western junta leader Ibrahim Traoré pledged to tackle jihadism, a stance that has made him popular with the population. However, his regime itself is now being accused of war crimes by human rights organisations. Will this backfire on the leader, and what does the future hold for the region?
