The problem of Security and Development Building on the African Sahel Region

Abstract

The study analyzed the security and development situation in the African Sahel region, as it is a soft area in which various symmetric and asymmetric threats exist. From this dire reality, the study aimed to present a strategy as a recipe for a remedy for the existing situation in the region. It was clarified by defining the characteristics and dimensions of security and development in the region, and the comparative approach was used to compare the economic growth and human development in the Sahel states. The study came to the conclusion that achieving security and development in the African Sahel depends on joint action aiming at undermining and
drying up the sources of the security threat, in order to achieve development and human dignity in the region.
