Islamist militant groups and transnational criminal networks are operating in the region's most fragile states, exploiting widespread corruption, weak government capacity, crushing poverty, and entrenched social and ethnic tensions. The unrest spills over borders and aggravates protracted regional crises. This insecurity raises urgent concerns for the broader Sahara and the West. Perilous Desert details the sources of instability and what can be done to minimize the threat of simmering conflicts.LSecurity, InternationalSaharaSecurity, InternationalSahelNational securitySaharaNational securitySahelSaharaPolitics and governmentSahelPolitics and governmentElectronic books.Security, InternationalSecurity, InternationalNational securityNational security355/.033066Wehrey Frederic M714194Boukhars Anouar949612MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453141303321Perilous desert2492836UNINA
