The West African Sahel in in the midst of dramatic changes: jihadism, effects of climate change, and tensions between herding peoples and agrarian populations, often descending into violence. This ASCL seminar by Nigérien expert Professor Mahaman T. Alou (LASDEL, Niamey), looks at counter-currents: efforts by local pastoral associations in the Sahel to actively keep the peace and work towards accommodation and survival in times of rapid social change.
