Les Mardis du PCNS 20/04/2021: تمدد التنظيمات الإرهابية بإفريقيا وتداعياتها على الأمن القاري

April 20, 2021

سيخصص برنامج حديث الثلاثاء حلقته لهذا الأسبوع إلى تحليل ومناقشة تمدد التنظيمات الإرهابية بإفريقيا وتداعياتها على الأمن القاري باستضافة عبد الحق باسو، باحث بارز بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد. إن توالي الأزمات تؤثر على الأمن بالقارة الإفريقية بالإضافة إلى تنامي نشاط الجماعات الإرهابية، فضلاً عن خطر الجريمة المنظمة العابرة للحدود، حيث ثمة جماعات إرهابية تقوم بتنفيذ الكثير من الهجمات ضد القوات المسلّحة والقوات الدولية التي تدعمها في منطقة الساحل ومناطق أخرى كما جرى مؤخرا في الموزمبيق. تزايد التهديد الإرهابي بالقارة الإفريقية فأصبحت تعد الآن منطقه التوسع التي تبنتها ما يسمى بالدولة الإسلامية نظرا للحدود المليئة بالثغرات، مثل الحدود بين تنزانيا وموزمبيق، إضافة إلى الأنظمة السياسية الهشة أحيانًا علاوة على مظاهر الإحباط ونقص الوظائف والبنية التحتية للتجنيد. وفقًا لتقرير صادر عن مؤشر الإرهاب العالمي، "تحول مركز ثقل تنظيم الدولة الإسلامية من الشرق الأوسط إلى إفريقيا". فما هي مظاهر الحركات التي تشنها الطوائف والجماعات الإرهابية في منطقة الساحل؟ وما هي الأشكال التي تتخذها؟ ما هي الخطوات التي يمكن اتخاذها لترقب التهديد الإرهابي المتربط بهاته الجماعات ونحن نعلم أن اكتساح مناطق أكبر جغرافيا لا يزال يهيمن على أهداف الجماعات الإرهابية أينما تواجدت؟ هل الخيار العسكري وحده كاف لمواجهة هذه الأعمال الإرهابية؟ وإذا كان الإرهاب مشكلة عابرة للحدود لا يمكن القضاء عليها دون مساعدة دولية، فكيف يمكن فهم مسارح التدخل، أو خلفيات ومقاربات الجماعات، لتجاوز صعوبة التنسيق مع الفاعلين والسلطات المحليين؟ المسيّرة: إيمان لهريش، مسؤولة عن البرامج بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد المتدخل: عبد الحق باسو، باحث بارز بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد

In the throes of multiple insurgencies, they and their foreign patrons, including France, have shown the limits of military containment. While these three countries are the victims of terrorist aggression, their crises also have deep domestic roots, including long-standing patterns of state abuses of their populations, even in the more d ...

    The proliferation of community-based armed groups (CBAGs) in Mali’s Mopti and Ségou Regions has contributed to transforming Central Mali into a regional epicenter of conflict since 2016. Due to the lack of adequate presence of the state, certain vulnerable, conflict-affected communities resorted to embracing non-state armed groups as security umbrellas in the context of inter-communal violence. These local conflicts are the result of long-standing issues over increasing pressure on ...

    Près de trois ans après l’éviction d’el-Béchir du pouvoir et la formation d’un gouvernement de transition, composé de civils et de militaires, la situation politique et économique du Soudan est loin d’être stable. Bien que des progrès aient été enregistrés depuis décembre 2018, la transition démocratique a été interrompue brutalement suite à la prise du pouvoir par le général al-Burhan et sa décision de dissoudre le gouvernement civil. Malgré le climat d’instabilité et d’incertitude ...
