“Front Sud”: Understanding French security policy towards Africa
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2019.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : France has fought against jihadist groups scattered across Sahel because it is convinced that its security is at stake on the Sahelian front. If the other European countries are reluctant to deploy troops alongside the French army, they nevertheless support this stabilisation initiative. The aim is twofold. Firstly, to prevent jihadism from spreading and, secondly, to reduce migrations towards Europe. However, the roots of the crisis, that cause the population to rebel, and that further entrench jihadist groups in the region, are not addressed. France keeps afloat states that are delegitimised in the eyes of their citizens; the French army has scored some successes, yet it is threatened to fall in a quagmire.
