Terrorism As An Asymmetric Threat In The Sahel: Causes Of Expansion And Implications

Authors : Abderahmani Chouaib .

Abstract

new threats have emerged in the region other than those that threatened the countries of the region during the Cold War period, such as marginalization, ethnicity, borders and the external enemy in light of the dominance of a conflicting ideological thought east-west, but the current time has produced new security threats. They are in line with the transformations that the world knows, especially after the events of September 11, 2001, which are characterized by ness, globalism and the comprehensive difficulty of controlling them. They are known as asymmetric or asymmetric security threats, and terrorism is classified at the forefront of these threats, as it burdened the African Sahel region as a whole, due to the effects it produces.
