Bunker Global: Did India plot a murder in Canada? Europe's next flashpoint and Africa's dying democracy
Description
Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau has claimed agents of the government of India orchestrated an assassination on Canadian soil. The killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has led to a terse back and forth between the two nations. Plus, we take a look at the latest chapter in the Azerbaijan and Armenia conflict. And, why are so many former French colonies revolting across Africa?
Chris Jones is joined by Dipo Faloyin, senior editor at Vice and author of ‘Africa is not a country’ and Laurence Broers, associate fellow at Chatham House’s Russia and Eurasia Programme, to get you up to speed on the biggest stories from around the world.
- "Canada wouldn’t make an allegation like this if they didn’t have solid proof.” — Dipo Faloyin
- "The Ukraine conflict has provided Azerbaijan with perfect cover for these military operations.” — Laurence Broers
- "Macron and the French government ignored the warning signs of civil unrest in their former colonies.” — Dipo Faloyin
