Conflicting spaces. A roundtable on the crisis in Central Sahel and its surrounds

This roundtable examines how different forms of violent conflict, which mark the Sahel's multiple crises, impact people's understandings of space, place, and politics. It begins with an overview from the panelists of how violent conflictuality and associated security politics are understood by different involved stakeholders and conflict participants. The panelists will then offer an explanation of the implications of different responses to the Sahel's crises and what this means for their potential trajectories.
