Sahel/ AQIM: The failure of working together
AQIM is frequently used to kidnap Europeans travelling in the Sahel-Saharan Desert regions, source of money that they need to keep on their plan and reach their objectives, as far as a comprehensive regional response has not been realised because of the permanent misunderstandings between the concerned states. The AQIM brass knows well this schism and uses it with excellence to the degree that conducts some Sahel-Saharan countries to collide in some diplomatic and political clashes. Some countries have stated they will never free any terrorist, and others do because pressured by another neighbour country or even a western country. That is all the complex part of the globalisation of terrorism. Mohamed Omar Debhi, who is of Algerian descent, is accused of sending more than 82 000 US dollars to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, by means of another Algerian who police named as Toufik Mizi, who fled Spain some years ago when the authorities cracked a cell of al-Qaeda fund-raisers. But what is about the ransoms that are concealed to AQIM or other groups through negotiations, either with government entities or private companies, starting from the Somali coasts, passing through the Niger Delta, and reach the north-eastern Mali, close to the Algerian border. The African nations face obstacles in working together on terrorism, because of past heritage and one proverb says : “He who cultivates troubles will harvest a costly disorder, and order has a price”
