Colloque des think tanks sahéliens, maghrébins, européens

Nos Senior Fellows Abdelhak Bassou et Mohammed Loulichki participeront au colloque des think tanks sahéliens, maghrébins, européens, organisé par l’Institut Mauritanien des Etudes Stratégiques à Nouakchott du 13 au 15 décembre.

Malgré les efforts inestimables des pays concernés et l’appui de leurs partenaires étrangers, la situation sécuritaire au Sahel ne cesse de se détériorer, avec une tendance à l’élargissement des zones d’insécurité allant jusqu’à toucher les pays voisins.

De même, il est à constater que les défis écologiques, le manque d’emploi et la forte croissance démographique poussent les jeunes sahéliens vers des choix de plus en plus négatifs (terrorisme, trafic en tout genre, migrations illégale).

Cette situation qui devient de plus en plus problématique nécessite et interpelle tous les acteurs. Dans ce contexte, nos fellows participeront au débat afin de mener une réflexion pertinente sur les causes et les conséquences de la persistance de l’insécurité et ses effets pervers sur le développement et les conditions de vie des populations dans l’espace du G5S.
