Mali’s Dogon Warriors - Defending the Sahel | Free Documentary World’s Most Dangerous Roads - Mali: https://youtu.be/uzC1VCYLPl8 This film is an immersive journey into the escalating conflict shaping the Sahel: Armed groups are extending their hold on the Sahel, a vast region south of the Sahara. Attacks and raids on villages happen almost daily, leaving local populations in constant danger. National armies struggle to maintain control, while international support has decreased. As a result, many communities have taken up arms to protect themselves. Our team travelled to central Mali, homeland of the Dogon people, to follow the Dan Na Ambassagou militia – farmers and hunters defending their land with old rifles, traditions, and courage, despite extreme heat and scarce resources. They are the last line of defense for hundreds of thousands still living on the Dogon plateau. We also met former fighters who had just deserted, offering rare insight into the way these armed groups operate and recruit. In Mauritania, we gained exceptional access to the army’s Special Intervention Groups during a border operation, and to a unique desert patrol unit that travels by dromedary to reach remote communities. #FreeDocumentary #Documentary #sahel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to Free Documentary Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2YJ4XzQ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary is dedicated to bringing high-quality documentaries to you on YouTube for free with the latest camera equipment used by well-known filmmakers working for famous production studios.
