Africa Daily - How are African countries viewing Assad’s fall?
Download How are African countries viewing Assad’s fall?
After 50 years of Assad family rule, Syrians are celebrating the fall of Bashar al-Assad after rebel forces captured Damascus.
But his fall isn’t just Syria’s story - it’s one with global implications. In Africa, countries that rely on Russian paramilitary support from groups like Wagner, also known as the African Corps, are bracing for potential impacts. Disrupted security alliances, risks of militants returning home, and heightened instability are all major concerns.
To unpack how this may reshape North and West Africa, Alan Kasujja is joined by experts Beverley Ochieng and Rabeb Aloui.
