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.L 606 $aSecurity, International$zSahara 606 $aSecurity, International$zSahel 606 $aNational security$zSahara 606 $aNational security$zSahel 607 $aSahara$xPolitics and government 607 $aSahel$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSecurity, International 615 0$aSecurity, International 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aNational security 676 $a355/.033066 701 $aWehrey$b Frederic M$0714194 701 $aBoukhars$b Anouar$0949612 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453141303321 996 $aPerilous desert$92492836 997 $aUNINA
