Rahmane Idrissa interviewed in podcast 'Africa Knows'

Rahmane Idrissa was interviewed in the podcast 'Africa Knows'. He talks about a wide range of subjects, from the impact of 9/11 on his academic path, to the birth and death of the Songhai empire (located in the western part of the Sahel during the 15th and 16th centuries), and from the intellectual prophets of the 1960s to West African social structure. He also shares his expertise on the security crises in the Sahel.

Africa Knows brings conversations with African(ist) scholars, teachers, and thinkers who talk about their own work and the knowledge revolution taking shape all over the African continent. It is a collaborative platform, with co-hosts calling in from different locations. Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana are the first ports of call, but the aim is to expand reach over time. Hosts are ASCL PhD candidate Gaddafi Abubakar, Henry Mang (Nigerian Army University, Biu, Borno State, Nigeria), and David Ehrhardt (Leiden University College). Editor: Nona Jools Pauwels, student assistant at Leiden University College.
The Africa Knows podcast took off in 2020, in the context of the Africa Knows Conference.
