Reporter’s View | Philip Kleinfeld on the challenges of covering spreading militancy in the Sahel
From August 2018 through May 2019, TNH editor and reporter Philip Kleinfeld documented the upheaval to civilians’ lives as violence spread through the Sahel region of West Africa. Since he’s left the region, the number of displaced people within Burkina Faso alone has doubled to over one million, while violence between jihadist groups and state security forces across Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have left thousands of civlians dead. In this interview, Kleinfeld discusses the risks he faced reporting on the conflict, the stories he heard along the way, and the warning signs that were missed as violence rose to unprecedented levels.
