“…65 Another kidnap-ransom operation in 2009 involving the negotiated release of the Canadian diplomats Robert Fowler and Louis Gray purportedly earned the organization $8 million some reports claim. 66 AQIM's financial standing has improved substantially with this line of effort. When combined with the relative lawlessness of the Sahel region, numerous and well established transnational smuggling routes, and regional availability of weaponry due to the after-effects of the Arab Spring, one can see the potential for an increased capacity for terrorist activity.…”

“…L'étude d'un groupe tel qu'Al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique oblige à une flexibilité dans la grille de lecture en raison de sa réalité mouvante, évolutive et transnationale. De plus, l'objectif politique du groupe à court et moyen terme étant, outre le jihad global revendiqué, la survie, il conduit nécessairement à des prises de décision pragmatiques de la part des émirs et cadres du groupe (Pham, 2011). Ces derniers cherchent à s'adapter à leur environnement régional au nom de la survie d'AQMI en répondant aux différentes politiques des États de la région tout en essayant de se greffer aux réalités sociales et culturelles sahélo-sahariennes.…”

This article focuses on the history of terrorism in West Africa in the first half of the 21st Century and attempts by regional and international bodies to combat it. It argues that although recently much attention has been paid to the sub region as a zone of terrorism, such terrorism has deeper historical roots and as such pre-dates the position taken by most contemporary scholars. West Africa has been a victim of terrorism over the years and to take on board only recent happenings is to do injustice to history. What has changed and continued? Who have been the key players? What attempts have been carried out by the respective organizations to stamp out terrorism?
