The Map at War: Who Really Controls the Sahel?

The Sahel is no longer defined by borders on paper. It is defined by shifting pressure, unstable routes, and power centres that change shape faster than any institution can respond. This video examines who truly controls the Sahel—and why the region now stands at the edge of a deeper geopolitical transformation. At the centre of the map are three states reshaping their strategy: Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. Under the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso has become the hinge of the new Sahel alignment—positioned between two neighbours and responsible for holding the middle line of an emerging security front. As external actors lose influence, this triangle of states becomes the decisive axis in the unfolding Sahel conflict. Across the region, older security structures have cracked. The doctrines that once shaped the map—international missions, external interventions, and fragmented regional coordination—could not keep pace with rapidly shifting ground realities. As these systems faded, the map opened, creating gaps filled by decentralised networks and cross-border movements that ignore formal boundaries. This documentary-analysis traces how the frontline now stretches across Liptako–Gourma, how instability moves south toward the Gulf of Guinea, and how the power struggle between regional coalitions and global actors is redrawing the future of West Africa. The question is no longer theoretical. It is brutally simple: Who controls the map? And who controls what comes next? If you follow Africa Politics, Geopolitics Africa, or the evolution of the Sahel after the rise of AES, this episode provides a structured, data-driven lens on the forces competing for influence—regional governments, global powers, and the new security architecture forming on the ground.
