developing BBC World Service Kadal 16d Impact 8
Experts warn that Mali is on the brink of civil war, a crisis that could destabilize the entire Sahel region. Aliyun Tine has called on the African Union to intervene and restore stability. The Sahel is currently regarded as the global epicenter of jihadism, with insecurity spreading to Niger and Burkina Faso. In Nigeria, the Boko Haram group continues a Islamist uprising. Western powers have reportedly lost interest in the region's security needs. Analysts suggest that a failure in Mali could lead to incalculable repercussions across the entire Sahel. The security situation is described as extremely worrying for regional stability.
