Remote Research in Times of War: The Case of the Sahel
Abstract
As the geopolitical context becomes increasingly complex, journalists and researchers face major challenges in conducting investigations in conflict zones. The Sahel, particularly the countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger), an African region particularly affected by instability and violence, is a perfect example. In order to overcome these difficulties, new remote investigation methods have been developed, enabling us to continue documenting and analyzing crisis situations despite restricted access to the field. This paper will focus on these new investigative techniques with a view to understanding and substantiating the facts.
