Who are the jihadists sweeping across Africa?
About this episode
On Saturday 25 April armed terrorists rode into the capital of Mali in West Africa.
Al Qaeda affiliated jihadists now say they are going to launch a total siege of the capital – home to some four million people.
Who are these jihadists? What do they want? And could Mali be about to fall?
Yalda speaks to Yousra Elbagir, Sky’s Africa correspondent, about the growing threat of jihadism in West Africa and why the world needs to pay attention - because what happens in Africa does not stay there.
Meanwhile, Richard is back in Israel and talks about the potential opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu and why he’s keen to stay on a war footing.
