| description |
This article addresses the most important security challenges existing in the Western
Sahel countries, an emerging sub-region encompassing Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and
Niger. The sub-region is very much affected by developments in neighboring countries such as
Algeria, Libya, and Nigeria, among others. A number of recent processes – the Arab revolts and
their effects in Libya and Egypt, the reinforcement of Boko Haram as a regional terrorist threat, etc
– have contributed to aggravate insecurity in a region that suffers environmental problems, political
instability, inter-communitarian tensions and illegal trafficking since a number of decades ago. All
these risks and threats are inviting states and international organizations to become more and more
involved in order to provide responses and, eventually, solutions

Cette sub-région deviens très touchée par les processus vécus en Algérie, en Libye et au Nigéria, parmis des autres pays voisins. Quelques evénements tels que les revoltes arabes dans la Libye ou en Egypte et aussi le renforcement de Boko Haram en tant que groupe terroriste de dimension régionale ont contribué à aggraver l’insécurité dans la région. En plus, les pays du Sahel Occidentale sont affectés depuis des decenies par des problèmes tels que les crises environmentales, l’instabilité politique, les tensions inter-communitaires et les traffics illicites. Tels risques et telles ménaces invitent les états et les organisations internationales à designer des réponses et, eventuellement, des solutions a ceux problèmesEste artículo se ocupa de los desafíos de seguridad más importantes que podemos inventariar en los países del Sahel Occidental, una subregión emergente que incluye a Burkina Faso, Chad, Malí, Mauritania y Níger. La subregión se ve muy afectada por los procesos que se viven en países vecinos como Argelia, Libia y Nigeria, entre otros. Algunos procesos recientes – las revueltas árabes y sus efectos en Libia y Egipto, el reforzamiento de Boko Haram como amenaza terrorista regiona, etc – han contribuido a incrementar la inseguridad en una región que ya sufre desde hace décadas problemas medioambientales, inestabilidad política, tensiones intercomunitarias y tráficos ilícitos. Todos estos riesgos y amenazas invitan a los Estados y a las Organizaciones Internacionales a involucrarse cada vez más en el esfuerzo para encontrar respuestas y eventualmente soluciones a los mismos2015text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5289804(Revista) ISSN 2341-0868Paix et sécurité internationales: revue maroco-espagnole de droit international et relations internationales, ISSN 2341-0868, Nº. 3, 2015, pags. 167-183engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
