The Week Ahead

High wire act

June 08, 2024 SBM Intelligence Season 1 Episode 6

In this week's episode, we turn our attention to Sudan's forgotten conflict. 

Next, we examine a troubling report from Nigeria's Southeast region, where the Eastern Security Network (ESN) is said to have launched an attack on soldiers. Who is the ESN, and what are the ideological splits within the group? How does this internal conflict exacerbate the already volatile security situation? 

Lastly, we shift our focus to Nigeria's economy. The country's Senate has recently halted the public hearing on the proposed amendments to the Central Bank of Nigeria Act. We'll explore the key concerns raised by the public and experts, including a contentious proposal to create a "Coordinating Committee for Monetary and Fiscal Policies."
