The structural causes of instability and conflict in the Western Sahel and the limitations of security and development initiatives
Keywords:
Sahel, conflict factors, jihadist terrorism, organised crime, international cooperationAbstract
The main objective of this analysis is to give a general and graphic overview of the political, economic, demographic, and social situation of the countries in the Western Sahel sub-region. This paper analyses the
main factors affecting the global security and development situation of the region as well as other potential negative impacts, especially on the Maghreb and Europe. In view of the main threats and conflicts, it appears
that these countries are unable to manage and address the major security and development challenges facing them, calling for involvement by the international community. This paper analyses the different
initiatives and official development aid strategies used over many years, particularly by the EU, and argues the need for new international strategies and action.
