AB This article addresses the most important security challenges existing in the WesternSahel countries, an emerging sub-region encompassing Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, andNiger. The sub-region is very much affected by developments in neighboring countries such asAlgeria, Libya, and Nigeria, among others. A number of recent processes – the Arab revolts andtheir 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, politicalinstability, inter-communitarian tensions and illegal traffcking since a number of decades ago. Allthese risks and threats are inviting states and international organizations to become more and moreinvolved in order to provide responses and, eventually, solutions.
