Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 64: The Sahel Alliance, Africa’s Power Shift & the End of Western Leverage - December 12, 2025
Description
Ghost returns with a focused geopolitical briefing on Africa’s accelerating realignment, centering on the rise of the Sahel Alliance and the rapid erosion of Western influence across the continent. He breaks down recent developments involving Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and neighboring states, explaining how military cooperation, resource control, and shared security interests are reshaping regional power structures. Ghost walks through France’s continued retreat, the collapse of EU leverage, and the strategic vacuum left behind as African nations reject IMF-style dependency in favor of sovereignty-driven alliances. The episode also covers shifting dynamics around rare earth minerals, energy corridors, and security agreements, tying Africa’s internal changes to the broader multipolar world taking shape alongside Russia, China, and the Global South. With maps, historical context, and clear-eyed analysis, Ghost explains why Africa has become a central front in the global struggle for power, and why the West is rapidly losing its grip.
