大象传媒

What do a graffiti festival, a first aid training and a football match have in common? These are all events set up by African Initiative, a Russian media organisation which defines itself as 'an information bridge between Russia and Africa'. Olaronke Alo and Maria Korenyuk from the 大象传媒 Disinformation Unit have been investigating this organisation and its activities in the Sahel region in Africa.

Produced by Alice Gioia, Caroline Ferguson and Hannah Dean.
