Sahel

More about the book

The book explores the complex dynamics of the Sahel region, a vast area facing insurgencies, migration, and smuggling due to weak governance and climate change. It focuses on Mali as the epicenter of the crisis, highlighting the lack of legitimate social contracts and political consensus among its fragile states. Competing identities and economic interests lead to local resource conflicts, exacerbated by elite manipulation and jihadi insurgents' infiltration. The author raises critical questions about the potential consequences for the Sahel, its neighbors, Europe, and the global community.
