Evolución
- Burkina Faso has become one of the deadliest hotspots, with recurring attacks on civilians and security forces.
- In Mali, following the partial withdrawal of French troops and the growing influence of Russia (through Wagner Group mercenaries), the conflict continues with high levels of violence.
- Niger also experienced a coup in 2023, creating a context of increased uncertainty in the region.
- The deterioration of security, combined with the climate crisis affecting the region, is driving mass displacement both within and beyond these countries.
