In Niger, new attacks by suspected jihadists killed 137 people on Sunday March 21.
In total, the violence killed more than 200 people in six days.
Are we seeing a return of the Islamic State group to the region?
What about Al Qaeda?
If the killings are increasing, they are not for all that the mark of a comeback of the Islamic State group suspected of being responsible.
The proof of this resurgence, however, can be found in the attack which claimed the lives of more than thirty Malian soldiers in the Tessit region in neighboring Mali, as explained by Wassim Nasr, journalist at France 24 and specialist in jihadist movements.
