A New African Counter-Terrorism Strategy: An Opportunity For Biden Administration
By Murielle Delaporte on February 23, 2021 at 4:01 AM
The fight against terror groups often called VEOs (Violent Extremist Organizations) in Africa faces a key strategic turning point. The N’Djamena Summit – which just took place with a US representative attending — is considered the starting point for an assessment of the results of the current strategy undertaken in the Sahelo-Saharan region.
The reassessment occurred because of the persistence of the terrorist threat in the region, which is jeopardizing development efforts already impaired by other factors such as analphabetism, challenging demographics and climate change, to name a few.
The French, US and African experience in the Sahel may serve as a model for the Biden Administration to adopt across the world for asymmetric operations.
