About the Book

L’humanité est de nos jours confronté à plusieurs défis : changement climatique, extrémisme sous toutes ses formes… Il ne se passe plus un jour sans qu’une catastrophe naturelle ou humaine (attentat-suicide) ne vienne endeuiller une région de la planète. La Bande Sahélo-Saharienne n’échappe pas à ces nouvelles menaces, elle qui connaît son lot quotidien d’attentats et de déplacés pour plusieurs raisons dont celles liées à la crise climatique. En outre, certains accords, signés par les Etats africains, par méconnaissance ou par ignorance, ont des conséquences graves qui peuvent aller jusqu’à l’effacement de leur identité, aux fins de soutirer les ressources naturelles pour l’intérêt des puissances industrielles. Face à cette nouvelle donne, une meilleure compréhension de l’évolution du monde sur le plan climatique, mais aussi en termes d’approche de géopolitique, ainsi qu’un changement de comportement s’impose. Aussi, ce livre s’inscrit dans le cadre de la lutte contre l’incivisme, l’extrémisme, le radicalisme religieux et le terrorisme pour toutes les couches et tranches de la société. Dans ce livre, il y a des éléments de base pour une nouvelle approche du terrorisme, à travers la prévention, la réduction du risque, la préparation, la réponse, et la récupération (PRP2R) par l’utilisation de SARA, du 3F-PET et du PECU. Il aidera les Forces de Défense et de Sécurité à avoir une nouvelle habileté, pour poursuivre leur lutte contre le terrorisme, et les populations des villes et des campagnes à mieux comprendre les dangers autour d’eux. Humanity is confronted with multiple challenges: for example climate change and extremism in all its forms… Not a day goes by without a natural or human catastrophe (like suicide bombings) coming to plague a region of the planet. The Sahel-Sahara Region is not immune to these new threats: it is experiencing its daily lot of attacks and displaced populations due to many factors; including those related to the global climate crisis. Moreover, some agreements signed by African countries (due to lack of knowledge or ignorance) for extracting natural resources in the interest of Western powers, have serious consequences that can go as far as the African countries’ loss of identity. Faced with this new challenge, we are required to gain a better understanding of how the world is evolving in terms of climate change, but also in terms of a geopolitical point of view. This book is a part of the fight against the lack of civic engagement, extremism, religious radicalism and terrorism in all socio-economic spheres of society. In this book, there are basic elements for a new approach against terrorism; through prevention, risk reduction, preparedness, response, and recovery (PRP2R) using SARA, 3F- PET and PECU. This book aims to equip the Defense and Security Forces (DSF) with new skills to continue their fight against terrorism; as well as urban and rural populations to understand the dangers surrounding them.
