In October 2024, months after ZAM published ‘Hotel Kremlin’, the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle produced a podcast on the investigation, highlighting its “grim picture of life under military dictatorships in the Sahel.”
In the podcast, the broadcaster interviewed one of the Hotel Kremlin journalists who, undercover, investigated in Mali; ZAM investigations editor Evelyn Groenink and seasoned West Africa-reporter and ZAM associate Bram Posthumus. The podcast highlights the investigation’s findings in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, such as a morgue full of bodies of victims of Russia’s Africa Corps, signs of self-enrichment of junta leaders, and increasing dissent among citizens.
