Continuation of DST 5.1 on the Jeune Afrique investigation “Putin’s Sharpshooters” with Yves Plumey Bobo and Christian Harbulot. This second part will focus on the information war waged by Russia in the Sahel against Western countries. As a former colonial power, France must respond to numerous offensives that instrumentalize its history and disrupt its dialogue with Africa. How can the African continent emancipate itself from various external propaganda efforts in order to defend its own interests? What are the consequences of Russian influence on the perception of populations in these countries? How have social networks changed the paradigm in information warfare? What does the subversive culture practiced by Russia teach us? Should the French jet set stop coasting? These are the many questions we will attempt to answer in this DST 5.2 | Danger | Surge | Transmission |
