Security Cooperation in the African Sahel Region

Absztrakt

The Sahara Coast region is one of the geo-strategic areas that have jumped to the forefront of global security concerns in recent times due to the region’s ongoing crises and security disturbances. It has become the focus of regional and international concerns because of public and hidden dimensions. This focused attention to the region requires analysis of the backgrounds and dimensions to be aware of what is the reality, to adopt appropriate strategies and alternatives to contain the fuse of the growing crisis within this region.
To dismantle the ongoing security disturbances in the region, the following questions must be answered: What is the geostrategic importance of the Sahel? What is the conflict in the region? What are the dimensions of this conflict and its background? Who benefits from the geopolitical crisis of the region? Is there any serious international cooperation to contain the security threats and what lies in the field?
