About this episode
You may not have heard of the African Initiative before…
It’s a Russian media organisation - established exactly a year ago – which defines itself as an “information bridge between Russia and Africa”. It has offices in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
But it also stands accused of targeting African journalists - and the public - with disinformation.
So what is the end goal for Russia’s African Initiative?
Presenter: Alan Kasujja Guests: Fauziyya Tukur of the BBC’s global disinformation team, and foreign affairs expert, Raymond Mujuni.
