Note sull'episodio
In this episode, we explore the fascinating “silent port wars” unfolding in West Africa. Landlocked Burkina Faso has no coastline, yet it has become a strategic prize that coastal nations fiercely compete to serve. Discover how Ouagadougou cleverly balances routes through Abidjan, Lomé, Tema, and beyond — using diversification, smart bilateral deals, and forward-looking partnerships to turn geography into real leverage.
A thoughtful story of sovereignty, resilience, and quiet power in global trade.
