Exploring African Perspectives on Irregular Warfare

This episode explores African perspectives on irregular warfare based on a new study by the U.S. Irregular Warfare Center. Drawing on interviews with defense leaders from Angola, Nigeria, Kenya, Liberia, and Zambia, we discuss how these nations define IW, what threats they face, and how colonial history and regional instability shape modern conflict. The findings offer critical lessons for U.S. policymakers and warfighters seeking effective partnerships across Africa.
