THE ALGERIAN SECURITY APPROACH TOWARDS THE SAHEL REGION: CASE OF MALI

The Sahel security issues in Africa and the Malian crisis in particular havebrought the region to the center of the Algerian foreign policy concerns. Algiershas been an indispensable provider of stability in the African Sahel. In recentyears, weak governances, political instability and fragile security have becomecommon features of the Sahelian states. The large quantity of natural resourcesof the Sahel has paved a road for foreign intervention and increasing rivalryamong the world economic powers across the region. In order to safeguard thelong-term security in its backyard, in many times the Algerian leaderships havepromoted state-building and dialogue as the best ways to lift states of the Sahelout of crisis. Neighboring countries like Mali are looking to Algiers to play aneffective role in leading conflict management efforts in the region.
