Proximities

In this week's episode, we are joined by Eric Reidy, Migration & Special Coverage Editor for The New Humanitarian, to dig into what really happened in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa last week. Away from the simplistic narratives of those who sought to weaponise the incident, we learn about the complex and thorny politics at play, not only in Morocco, but in the region as a whole.

What is Proximities?

Former foreign correspondent and international news editor Barry Malone talks to the journalists covering the non-Western news we rarely hear about. Expect under-reported stories told by the people closest to them.

Proximities hosts intelligent discussions on the most important stories from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and more.

We cover the news that is getting the least attention in the mainstream international media, and add missing context to the stories that are.
