Insurgencies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere-the
majority linked to al Qaeda-are in the news on an almost daily
basis. But very little surfaces about a festering insurgency that
has been on the go for six years in West Africa under the acronym
of AQIM, or al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. This low-level series
of guerrilla conflicts is widespread and sporadic, covering an area
as vast as Europe. Nigeria has been drawn into the equation because
its Boko Haram insurgent faction maintains close ties with AQIM and
Islamic State. For now though, the focus is on Mali where several
jihadist groups-despite formal peace agreements-remain active.
Involved is the French army and air force as well as the United
Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali
(MINUSMA), the European Union Training Mission in Mali (EUTM) as
well as the European Union Capacity Building Mission (EUCAP). The
insurrection that fostered all this broke out early 2012 when
President Fran�ois Hollande announced the beginning of
Operation Serval. Five hours later the first squadrons of French
Gazelle helicopter gunships began attacking Islamist columns. A day
later French fighter jets based in Chad, almost 2,000 kilometres
away, were making sorties against rebel ground targets in northern
Mali.
