4The Sahel
The Sahel region in West Africa has become one of the most unstable areas in the world. Countries including Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger face ongoing insurgencies.
Extremist groups carry out attacks on villages, security forces, and transportation routes. In recent years, the instability has also contributed to several military coups in the region.
Large numbers of civilians have been displaced as violence spreads across rural communities.
