Algeria surrounded by Islamism in the east and terrorism in the south

The Maghreb and the Sahel regions have become France’s zones of influence after the fall in a series of regimes in North Africa and south of the grand Sahara, as what happened in Libya, Tunisia, Morocco and in terms of security in Mauritania, Chad, Niger and Mali.

  • The Maghreb and the Sahel regions have become France’s zones of influence after the fall in a series of regimes in North Africa and south of the grand Sahara, as what happened in Libya, Tunisia, Morocco and in terms of security in Mauritania, Chad, Niger and Mali.
  • These Sahelian countries have become French provinces that receive orders from Paris and accept its military intervention on their land under the guise of the fight against terrorism in the region.
  • The latest events experienced by the Maghreb and the Sahel countries throughout the year, show how France has managed to establish its influence on a number of former colonies like Chad, Mali and Niger, and the exploitation by France of what is called the "Arab spring" to install political systems that obey her in Libya, Tunisia and Morocco, although the latter is since the sixties as French protectorate, when King Hassan II had proclaimed himself Governor General of French policies in his own kingdom.
  • A plain reading of the new political map, after the latest developments in these areas, confirms the revival of France. As a result, Algeria remains the only country outside the circle, surrounded from the east and the west by pro-France Islamist governments and from the southeast by a country ruled by armed gangs after the fall of Gaddafi and from the extreme south by weak regimes that can not disobey orders from the Elysee.
  • Observers see in this new situation the return of the traditional war of interests between France and the United States, mainly regarding countries like Algeria for their strategic position and its oil. Algeria will not be immune against the French attempts to extend its influence in the Arab Maghreb region.
