Le paysage terroriste au Sahel se caractérise par une multiplicité d’acteurs qui déstabilisent les pays de la région. Malgré que chaque groupe terroriste possède des spécificités d’action et des zones d’influence propres à lui, il n’en demeure pas moins que deux grandes tendances idéologiques s’affrontent au Sahel. D’une part, Al Qaeda au Maghreb Islamique et d’autre part, l’organisation Etat islamique. Cependant, certains groupes continuent d’agir indépendamment des allégeances qu’ils ont prêtées en refusant de suivre les ordres de leurs leaders hiérarchiques. Face à cette complexité des acteurs terroristes qui sévissent dans le Sahel, ce Policy Brief se propose d’examiner la situation en levant le voile sur le système des allégeances, la relation entre les différents groupes, mais également, le jeu des acteurs étatiques dans leur lutte contre ces différentes nébuleuses.

    Europe and North Africa are bound in a strategic relationship. The stability, security and prosperity of both regions are inextricably linked.

    Despite fraught politics, the global outlook is strengthening. The next twelve months are likely to be characterized by moderate but steady growth across the world. However, the outlook becomes murkier as we move into the second half of 2018 and 2019. Significant upside in world economic growth is possible on account of building momentum against a background of low capacity utilization, but even greater downside is possible on account of inconsistent economic policy in the Unites St ...

    Africa’s population is projected to reach almost 2.5 billion by 2050. Migration from Africa to the EU is relatively stable, at around 500,000 migrants per year, or 0.1 percent of the EU population, yet irregular immigration into the EU has increased recently. Development is often seen as the way to reduce migration but the development-migration nexus is complex. At low levels of development, migration might increase with rising GDP per capita. This applies to most of sub-Saharan Af ...
