Are David Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy and NATO responsible for African Jihadism rise?
The Regional Center for Small Arms in Eastern and Central Africa, based in Nairobi, Kenya, is formal: there are currently Libyan weapons in the hands of Somali militia shabab.
According to a survey of this institution, known for its seriousness, presented on January 11 in Abidjan on the occasion of the first Forum on resilience in Africa organized by the African Development Bank (ADB), weapons and other ammunition parts of Libya, After the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, transited through Sudan before falling into the hands of the Chabab.
The Somali extremists took the opportunity to strengthen themselves and bring death and desolation to the heart of Mogadishu, the Somali capital. They now stand up to the African peace force in Somalia, Amisom, undoubtedly continuously supplied from the Libyan "supermarket".An open market for jihadists
Before the investigation revealed in the Ivorian capital, in July 2016, there was confirmation of the presence of Libyan weapons at the hands of the Nigerian nebula Boko Haram by the Libyan ambassador in Paris, Alshiabani Mansour Abuhamoud. The firepower of Abubakar Shekau's supporters and their military victory over regular armies had fueled many assumptions about the provenance of their sophisticated equipment. Without going into details of the precise route taken by these weapons, Mr. Mansour Abuhamoud had stated bluntly that Boko Haram had taken advantage of the Libyan stock to become the most deadly terrorist movement in the world.
It is in West Africa, especially in the Sahel, that the failure of the Libyan central state, after the fall of Gaddafi, caused the most serious damage. It is certainly far from the territorial occupation of northern Mali in 2012 by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Ansar Eddine and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao), but The terrorist threat is still present. As evidenced by the Ouagadougou bombings in Burkina Faso on 15 January 2016 in Grand Bassam, Côte d'Ivoire on 13 March of that year and the one perpetrated on Wednesday 18 January in Gao, Mali.
For the countries of the Sahel, Libya is not only a kind of open market for jihadists who come to buy weapons, ammunition and other devices of death at will. It is also their sanctuary, the rear base from which terrorist attacks are planned. Western intelligence services are now convinced that emblematic figures of terrorism in the Sahel, including Algerian Mokhtar Belmokhtar and Malian Iyad Ag-Ghali, have found refuge in southern Libya.Worrying picture
Added to this is the risk that fighters from the Islamic State Organization (daesh), recently expelled from the Syrte region of Libya, will infiltrate neighboring countries. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, quoted by its collegues of Canard enchained on Wednesday, had suggested that DAESH fighters, defeated in Libya, dispersed in the direction of Tunisia, Niger and Chad.
Looking closely at this disturbing picture of the terrorist threat in Africa, one comes to blame at least part of the responsibility for this disaster to the most fierce defenders of the 2011 foreign military intervention in Libya that were the British David Cameron , Nicolas Sarkozy and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Their level of responsibility is all the more legitimate because they have not scrupulously respected the letter and the spirit of the resolution 1970 voted in February 2011 by the UN Security Council.
