Alex Thurston (@sahelblog on Twitter) joins me again to try to make some sense of the dizzying array of extremist groups in Mali and to talk about the aftermath of the Malian presidential election last month, which saw Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta (pictured) reelected albeit with very low turnout. Be sure to check out Alex's Sahel Blog and his books:
Salafism in Nigeria from Columbia University Press
Boko Haram: The History of an African Jihadist Movement from Princeton University Press
Enjoy!
