West Africa is losing many of its best and brightest. Across the region, doctors, lawyers, and engineers are leaving, depriving some of the world’s youngest countries of the minds they need to develop sustainably. At the same time, coups have rocked the nearby Sahel, threatening to create a corrosive cycle of instability. Can West Africa quell the tide of emigration?

Featured Guests:

Aanu Adeoye (West Africa correspondent, Financial Times)

Ebenezer Obadare (Douglas Dillon Senior Fellow for Africa Studies, CFR)
