Hosted by Robert Morris and Ruairi McElhone, The More Freedom Foundation Podcast cuts through the noise to bring sharp, insightful takes on global politics. Each week, we dive deep into the stories behind the headlines—unpacking the forces shaping our world with clarity, context, and just enough irreverence to keep it real.
In this week’s episode, we turn our focus to Mali—a key battleground in the shifting power dynamics of the Sahel region. Russia’s ambitions in West Africa are faltering, and the Wagner-backed presence isn’t turning the tide as expected. Could JNIM (Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin) take control of northern Mali? Why is Russia struggling? And what does it mean for the region, the West, and the wider geopolitical chessboard?
Whether you’re a policy wonk, a global affairs enthusiast, or just tired of shallow takes on complex issues, this is your podcast.
