Guest of the "Big evening newspaper" of Europe 1 this Monday, Anne Giudicelli, geopolitologist director of Terr (o) risc, an agency specializing in international terrorism, explains why violence is still burning the Sahel, despite the presence of the operation Barkhane. 

INTERVIEW

Nine years after the first French intervention in Mali and six years after the launch of Operation Barkhane, the terrorist movement in the Sahel is far from being defeated. The latest example, Sunday, an attack near Niamey, Niger, claimed the lives of eight people, six French and two Nigeriens. How to explain that such violence is possible, despite the presence of the French armed forces? "The security force does not solve the basic problem", explains this Tuesday on Europe 1 the geopolitologist Anne Giudicelli. 

"As soon as there is an external armed intervention, this multiplies the creation of groups which position themselves in terms of resistance," recalls the one who is also director of Terr (o) risc, an agency specializing in international terrorism. Without forgetting that this will help "fuel an anti-Western discourse", she specifies.
