New study on "France and the Fight against Terrorism in the Sahel. The History of a Difficult Leadership Role" by Tobias Koepf. "France, the former colonial power that has close historical links to the countries of the region, has been most affected by AQIM’s activities. Between 2007 and 2011, commandos linked to the terrorist group kidnapped several French citizens, launched bomb attacks on the French embassies in Mauritania and Mali and repeatedly threatened to launch terrorist attacks on French soil. This spurred France to assume a leadership role in international efforts to fight AQIM" analyses Tobias Koepf.
